      abstract = {Fields of academic inquiry differ in their preferred forms  of output, in the ways in which knowledge is accumulated  and stored, and so in the ways that academic influence is  measured. We compare Tom Hertel’s research record to  other international economists of his generation in order  to illustrate the unique breadth and influence of his work,  and of the GTAP project broadly. We then provide an  analytical framework that helps explain the evolution of  the field of international economics from a tool-use  standpoint. This framework helps us to assess the academic  productivity gains from creating the GTAP model and  consortium. It also provides a possible answer to a  significant puzzle: why is GTAP increasingly influential in  the physical and biological sciences, but less so within  the international economics community? },
