Abstract

We rank universities and colleges and we list the top 100 authors in the sub-field of International Finance using the EconLit database and measuring quality by the number of American Economic Review-equivalent articles published over the ten-year period 1996-2005. We observe that there is some dissimilarity between the ranking of this sub-field and that of the general field of Economics, so that the sub-field rankings provide extra information. The results may be useful for students considering post-graduate work in International Finance
