The Matthew effect defined and tested for the 100 most prolific economists

The Matthew effect has that often-cited papers/authors are cited more often. I use the statistical theory of the growth of firms to test whether the fame of papers and authors indeed exhibits increasing returns to scale, and confirm this hypothesis for the 100 most prolific economists.
