↵Notes: Observations are at article–author level and are recorded “four years after” after the 2012 conference dates. Each column in each panel provides estimates for the 2012 APSA meeting from a separate regression. Indicators (i) “author_disc_chair_star,” (ii) “disc_chair_star,” (iii) “author_chair_star,” and (iv) “norole_star,” respectively, denote articles in a session in which star academics: (i) are assigned as a chair/discussant and as an author of a paper, (ii) are assigned only as a chair/discussant, (iii) are assigned only as an author of a paper, or (iv) are assigned no role. Regressions in Panel A include controls for an indicator for whether the paper is in an APSA meeting, conference year dummies, an APSA specific year trend, covariates for the number of authors in the paper and for the total number of publications by the article authors multiplied by the average journal impact factor, an indicator for whether any author had a previous paper posted in SSRN, and author fixed effects. Regressions in Panel B include an indicator for whether the paper is in an APSA meeting, conference year dummies, four indicators for session type, four APSA-session-type specific year trends, an indicator for whether the article is authored by a star academic, covariates for the number of authors in the paper and for the total number of publications by the article authors multiplied by the average journal impact factor, an indicator for whether any author had a previous paper posted in SSRN, and author fixed effects. Robust standard errors are in brackets. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
