Mark McCabe is a Full Professor at SKEMA Business School, holding a dual affiliation with the Research Group in Law, Economics, and Management (GREDEG)—a joint unit of Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, and SKEMA. As a teacher-researcher in the Pole Growth, Industry, and Markets (PCIM), he contributes to the BUDYMAC research team (Business Dynamism and Macroeconomic Challenges) with primary focus on Innovation studies. His academic leadership spans theoretical and empirical investigations into scholarly communication systems.
His research program critically examines the economic foundations of academic publishing, specializing in open access dynamics, citation behavior, and market competition. Key contributions include:
- Econometric analysis of open access effects on citation counts across journal quality tiers
- Structural modeling of two-sided markets in scholarly journal pricing
- Empirical assessment of data disclosure policies using natural experiments
- Welfare analysis of publisher mergers and bundling strategies
- Development of sustainable funding models for gold open access
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2006-2024) reveals consistent focus on open science economics, with methodological emphasis on natural experiments, panel data analysis, and industrial organization frameworks. His work bridges theoretical economic modeling with real-world policy implications for libraries, publishers, and research institutions.
Within SKEMA's research ecosystem, Professor McCabe actively shapes discourse through the PCIM pole and BUDYMAC team, where he investigates macroeconomic dimensions of business innovation and market evolution.
