Are there any academic Resharper performance studies?

Question

I have a new job, and one of my first tasks is to convince my boss that Resharper is a great idea. Do any of you know about any academic Resharpers productivity research? My boss loves numbers, but the only numbers I can find are fairly unconfirmed statements by Jetbrains.

So, at the moment, my best arguments are: “I really like Boss” and “Pleaaase !!!”.

Answer 1

To answer my own question, I convinced my boss, not using academic research, as an argument. We bought it, I made a small demonstration of what a (very small) investment was, and he was very pleased. Most of all he liked:

• Live and file templates (obvious and very economical time saving)
• Refactoring (maintaining quality).
• Effective short cuts (time saving).
• Test drive (save time, maintain and improve quality)

So it turns out I don't need Resharper performance studies, but I'm still interested.
