Economist Rankings at IDEAS

This file is part of IDEAS, which uses RePEc data

Top 5% Authors, as of April 2008

Average Rank Score

The average rank score is determined by taking a harmonic mean of the ranks in each method, except the first one (number of works), the best and the worst rank. Click on the column heads to find definitions and rankings for each method.
This ranking is based on 16281 registered authors. To register yourself or update your entry, go to the RePEc Author Service.

The data presented here is experimental. It is based on a limited sample of the research output in Economics and Finance. Only material catalogued in RePEc is considered. For any citation based criterion, only works that could be parsed by the CitEc project are considered. For any ranking of people, only those registered with the RePEc Author Service can be taken into account. And for rankings of institutions, only those listed in EDIRC and claimed as affiliation by the respective, registered authors can be measured. Thus, this list is by no means based on a complete sample. You can help making this more comprehensive by encouraging more publications to be listed (instructions) and more authors to register (form). For more details on the various rankings that are available as well for documentation, follow this link.
