Based on CV information of tenured professors and post-doc researchers in the field of economics at German universities we construct a unique data set. This data set contains detailed information on the career path and on personal characteristics of individuals. Using this data we analyse the determinants of success in the academic labour market. Our notion of success is the (conditional) probability of becoming tenured, i.e. the hazard rate. Estimating a Cox (1972) regression model, we show that the primal determinants of the hazard rate are the publication record and time dummies which control for the decade in which tenure was received. The latter result implies that Germany witnessed a huge structural change in the academic labour within the last 30 years.
