Abstract
Spangenberg, et al. have tested hypotheses concerning' facilitators and inhibitors of scientific performance in Dutch economics. In order to examine the external validity of the findings, a comparison is made with large scale empirical studies conducted in two other countries. In order to examine the convergent validity of the overall performance measure, the relationship with other scientometric indicators is inspected. In order to test the robustness of their univariate and multivariate tests, multiple regressions were performed on three criteria: scientific productivity, citation impact, and individual performance index.
