摘要：We analyze the academic affiliations of nearly 6,000 award-winning researchers in 18 major fields in the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences, dating back to the 1840-1850s but mostly covering 1960 to 2022. The data shows a trend decline in the concentration of institutional affiliations of award-winning researchers (measured by the Herfindahl/Hirschman Index of Concentration) from a few science-strong universities in high income countries toward a diverse set of institutions across the world in all fields but one.  The exception is economics, in which the institutional affiliation of prize-winning researchers became more concentrated over time, making economics number one in concentration of awardwinners. We link the anomalous pattern in economics to (1) stronger network connections among economists than among researchers in other fields and to (2) the nature of the evidence that
establishes scientific consensus in economics versus other fields. We conclude by comparing the benefits and costs of the institutional concentration of prize-winners and the potential for economics to become more like the other sciences in the future.
