Abstract

We endeavor in this paper to ascertain, for the field of macromonetary economics, the most influential economists, articles, textbooks, and journals. The syllabi of all faculty of the top twenty-five economics departments teaching graduate macromonetary courses were obtained. The syllabi were culled to produce 1527 articles and a number of other publications, including textbooks. The ensuing macromonetary rankings are the first, for this category alone, in more than two decades. Although article rankings by syllabi count and citation count are uncorrelated, the names of top economists by decades produced by syllabi count are generally well known for their accomplishments in research.
