Abstract	Die in jüngster Zeit auch in Deutschland zunehmenden Versuche, die Qualität der Doktorandenausbildung und vor allem -forschung zu erhöhen, orientieren sich vielfach an dem Modell der amerikanischen Forschungsuniversitäten. Dem impliziten oder expliziten Glauben an die Wirksamkeit des New Public Management liegt die Idee zu Grunde, dass weniger Staatseinfluss, mehr Wettbewerb, eine stärkere Binnenhierarchie und der verstärkte Einfluss externer Stakeholder eine solche Verbesserung wahrscheinlich machen. Mit Hilfe einer fuzzy-set-Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) qualitativer und quantitativer Daten 26 europäischer und US-amerikanischer Departments der Volkswirtschaftslehre untersuchen wir, wie sich NPM-Steuerungsinstrumente in den Jahren 2001 und 2002 auf den Verbleib von Doktoranden im akademischen System ausgewirkt haben. Um den Einfluss von organisatorischen Reformen und Ressourcenausstattung trennen zu können, berücksichtigen wir näherungsweise die finanziellen Ressourcen sowie die Größe von Departments – gemessen an der Zahl der Professoren sowie der Zahl der Doktoranden – und schließlich die Veröffentlichungsintensität der Professoren eines Departments. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gleicher Erfolg zwar mit unterschiedlichen Governance-Konfigurationen einhergehen kann, allerdings notwendigerweise einen Wettbewerb um Mittel und Graduierte voraussetzt.In many European countries efforts are undertaken to improve doctoral education. With the organization of PhD programs at US research universities very often serving as the model, the new public governance of higher education has strong ideas concerning the most promising paths to improvement: less state, less academic self-governance, greater reliance on quasi-markets, a stronger internal hierarchy, and more influence by external stakeholders. Based on an explorative analysis of qualitative and quantitative data of 26 continental European, English and US economics departments, we investigate the steering impact of these five governance dimensions for the years 2001–2002 on subsequent academic placement success of PhD graduates. To control for the importance of resource levels, we take into account: financial resources, the publication record of faculty members, the total number of professors, and the annual average number of PhD graduates in a department. Based on a fuzzy-set QCA of our data, our results deliver strong support for a variety of locally best governance configurations with no evidence for a single optimal system. Introducing market elements appears to be necessary for success with any governance system. The level of financial resources is the only one of our control conditions that contributes to our understanding of the placement success of PhD programs and the steering of PhD education.
