| Description | his paper aims to analyse the phenomenon of academic inbreeding, which is widely discussed in Czech academia. In this paper the inbreeding coefficient for economics associated professors is calculated and the relationship between inbreeding and productivity is studied. Furthermore, inbreeding anticipations among Czech PhD students are researched. We used two unique datasets: firstly data based on the DOKTORANDI 2014 survey was used; secondly a special dataset of Czech associate professors was set up for the aim of this study. The Broaden inbreeding ratio among Czech economic associated professors is 49%. Further results show that 59% of Czech doctoral students tend to inbreed. As for economics PhD students, the anticipated inbreeding ratio reaches 70%. |
