These rankings take only into account authors registered with the RePEc Author Service. As authors do not report whether they are male or female during registration, female authors are determined with pattern matching on first names along with a list of exceptions. Note that since August 2007, the ranking is determined solely among women and may thus differ from extracting women from the general ranking. Please report any classification errors to Christian Zimmermann. 2778 female authors have thus been found, about 14.9% of all authors.
For the worldwide rankings of all authors, see here: top 5% authors. More rankings. 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).

The rankings below are aggregate rankings from 31 different ranking methods,
excluding worst and best method. See links above for details.
