Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars Project (JieQing Fund) has implemented more than 25 years, all the JieQing winners presented the growing trend of older in age, researcher's age funding for heterogeneity about JieQing implement performance has great meaning in managing the JieQing Fund in future.[Method/process] The object of the empirical in the paper was JieQing Fund from 1994 to 2018 in Earth Science. The research built three evaluation indexes which included scientific research paper output efficiency, innovation ability and academical influence. And put forward the "Input of human capital in science and technology-output of scientific research" model to explain the research results. The research used DID model to overcome the sample selective bias which may have bad influence in inner problems, at last, the study researched the heterogeneity in age when implement the JieQing Fund.[Result/conclusion] The results show that there is older trend of aging and 45 years old phenomenon among the scientists. The JieQing Fund has been in place for 20 years. The proportion of hypothesis supports that the older the subsidy age is, the better the subsidy effect is lower. Among the three evaluation indexes, the years with the largest funding effect and the age between 39 and 42 years accounted for the largest proportion in the 20 years of the implementation of the JieQing Fund. Therefore, no matter from all the JieQing Fund purpose, three evaluation indexes, JieQing Fund should avoid older tendency, expand funding for young excellent talents.

Key words： data science; funding for age; heterogeneity; DID model; National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars; scientific and technology policy evaluation
