Is science a 'market of ideas'? Not according to the economics of science. Science is competitive, but scientific competition is not market competition. Nor is scientific competition the same as competition between universities. Scientific competition is, first of all, competition between individual scientists who compete for status among their peers. This volume sheds new light on many aspects of scientific competition, from the academic labor market to the constitution of science, with contributions from economics, law, political science, sociology, and philosophy of science.With contributions by:Max Albert, Siegfried Berninghaus, Nicolas Carayol, Gustavo Crespi, Dominique Demougin, Henrik Egbert, Bernd Fitzenberger, Aldo Geuna, Christine Godt, Peter Grösche, Werner Güth, Dorothea Jansen, Gebhard Kirchgässner, Roland Kirstein, Christian Koboldt, Martin Kolmar, Christian List, Jürgen Meckl, Christian Pierdzioch, Michael Rauber, Ulrich Schmidt, Günther G.
