The Academic Inbreeding Controversy: Analysis and Evidence from Brazil
作者：
Highlights：
• Based on a large sample data from more than 76,000 researchers from all fields of knowledge, we find that inbreeding can be found in all fields of science in Brazil.
• Results from a robust statistical analysis indicate that inbreeds are significantly more productive than non-inbreeds in all research publications, except in books.
• Particularly, we find that researchers that have spent a mobility period, either during doctoral studies or a scholarly visiting position, are more productive than other types of inbreeds.
