Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2017.

Includes bibliographical references

High profile, selection-and-supplemental funding, university excellence initiatives are becoming increasingly popular national R&D strategies globally. The central goal is to stimulate an R&D "Matthew effect" among selected universities to competitive globally among research-intensive universities by purposely funding accumulated advantage in science productivity.

520 $a High profile, selection-and-supplemental funding, university excellence initiatives are becoming increasingly popular national R&D strategies globally. The central goal is to stimulate an R&D "Matthew effect" among selected universities to competitive globally among research-intensive universities by purposely funding accumulated advantage in science productivity.
520 $a A difference-in-differences evaluation of the effects of Taiwan's much-publicized World Class University Project (WCU) on scientific productivity from 2001 to 2010 yields unexpected findings. Significant financial resources provided to the selected WCU universities (treatment group) did increase production of scientific papers and publication in prestigious journals. But, counter to the program's chief goal, the Non-WCU universities (comparison group) increased their rate of production more than the WCU universities during the same period. This study also found that after the policy implementation the Non-WCU universities were more actively cutting into the private R&D funding market. The change of Non-WCU universities was driven by the demand to go after other financial resources to build up their capacity for next round of competition.
520 $a A possible diffusion effect of institutional norms, greater inter-institutional competition, and isomorphism around science productivity generated by the implementation of WCU Project is examined and discussed in light of the global spread of university excellence initiatives.
