Data underlying “Developments in the production of PhDs in economics at four research-intensive universities”

Data underlying a paper on economics PhDs earned in four South African universities published in the South African Journal of Science. The format field in the data is interesting as it indicates whether the particular PhD was in the normal monograph format (0) or in the PhD by publication format (1) or mixed (2).本数据集为一篇发表于《南非科学期刊》（South African Journal of Science）的研究论文提供数据支撑，该论文聚焦南非四所高校授予的经济学博士学位相关内容。数据中的「学位论文格式」字段具有较高研究价值，该字段可标注单篇博士学位论文的撰写类型：0代表常规专著式博士学位论文，1代表发表论文集形式的博士学位论文，2代表混合形式。
