Abstract
Using data from an exhaustive list of journals for the 40 year period starting in 1969 we document the stylized facts in name ordering in Economics publication. We provide a theoretical model to explain the observed facts. Our model fits the data well. We show that contribution to the idea of a paper determines the name ordering of the authors rather than famous authors yielding their name to junior authors to increase the chance of publication.
