Abstract

• This paper develops and estimates a cross-sectional model for forecasting research

  output across the Australian university system. It builds upon an existing literature that focuses

  either on institutional comparisons or studies of specific subjects, by providing discipline-specific

  results across all of the ten major disciplinary areas as defined by Australia’s Department of

  Education, Science and Training (DEST). The model draws upon four discipline-specific

  explanatory variables; staff size, research expenditure, PhD completions, and student-staff ratios

  to predict output of refereed articles. When compared with actual averaged output for 2000-2004,

  the results are highly statistically significant.
