Within Country and State Rankings at IDEAS: Massachusetts (United States)

This file is part of IDEAS, which uses RePEc data

Top 20% Institutions and Economists in Massachusetts (United States), as of January 2009

These rankings take only into account institutions registered in EDIRC and authors registered with the RePEc Author Service and the institutions they claimed to be affiliated with. For Massachusetts (United States), these are 691 authors affiliated with 70 institutions. Note that authors affiliated only with institutions in this region that are not listed in EDIRC cannot be ranked. Authors with multiple affiliations are attributed to each according to a formula described here.
For the worldwide rankings, see here: top 5% authors or top 5% economics institutions.

The rankings below are aggregate rankings from 31 different ranking methods, excluding worst and best method. See links above for details.
Rankings for the United States and links to state rankings are available here.

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.
