國內經濟學界近年來對於期刊論文日益重視，對於國內外期刊的分等與排序也已建立了標準，然而學界對於國內學者刊登於各等級期刊上的論文，到底如何看待，迄今並無學者探討。本文藉由分析決定副教授升等的因素，來探討各類期刊論文受重視的程度。我們先以二元probit模型，分析各類論文對副教授升等的幫助，結果顯示，國際頂尖期刊的影響並不顯著，而刊登於一般國際期刊，頂尖與一般國內期刊上的文章，則都有顯著幫助。我們再以持續時間模型，分析期刊論文如何影響副教授升上教授所需的時間，結果和二元probit模型一致：刊登於一般國際期刊，頂尖與一般國內期刊上的文章，都能顯著加快副教授的升等，而頂尖國際期刊仍對減少副教授升等所需時間，沒有顯著貢獻。

　　　　　Journal publications are an important factor in evaluating an economic scholar's accomplishments. Although Taiwan's economics circle has ranked the various international and Taiwanese economic journals, there has been no discussion on how the circle evaluates scholars' publications. We test what kind of journals contribute more to the promotion of associate professors. We first use a bivariate probit model to test the contribution of journals at the four different levels. We find that publications in top international journals do not contribute significantly to promotion while ordinary international journals, top and ordinary Taiwanese journals help scholars significantly. We then use a duration model to see how much publication in journals of different levels help scholars in shortening the time they serve as associate professors. The results are consistent with the bivariate probit model: ordinary international, top and ordinary Taiwanese journals help more than top international journals.
