This dataset includes historical citation data, publication metadata, NSF funding records, and academic employment outcomes used by Sebastian Hager, Carlo Schwarz, and Fabian Waldinger in their 2024 American Economic Reviewpaper. The dataset exploits the introduction of the first citation database (ISI's Science Citation Index) to analyze how the visibility of scientific work affects the allocation of academic talent.
