In this paper, we focus on the evaluation =f frontier scientific research projects. We argue that the =E2 intellectual distance" between the knowledge embodied =n research proposals and an evaluator's own expertise =ystematically relates to the evaluations given. To estimate =elationships, we designed and executed a grant proposal process at a =eading research university in which we randomized the assignment of =valuators and proposals to generate 2,130 evaluator—proposal =airs. We find that evaluators systematically give lower scores to =esearch proposals that are closer to their own areas of expertise and =o those that are highly novel. The patterns are consistent with biases =ssociated with boundedly rational evaluation of new ideas. The patterns =re inconsistent with intellectual distance simply contributing =E2 noise" or being associated with private interests of =valuators. We discuss implications for policy, managerial intervention, =nd allocation of resources in the ongoing accumulation of scientific =nowledge. >> >> >> > > -- >> please note > The information contained in this communication is confidential, may > be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, > and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
