• Only authors registered with the RePEc Author Service are considered.
• Only works listed on RePEc and claimed as theirs by registered authors are counted.
• A series of rankings by different criteria are aggregated. The average rank score is determined by taking a harmonic mean of the ranks in each criterion. For a list of criteria, see the general ranking page.
• Authors with multiple affiliations are attributed to each according to the weights they have set to each in their profile, or by default according to a formula described here.
• Only institutions listed in EDIRC are counted.

• Subentities of ranked institutions do not increment the rank count and have their rank listed in parentheses.
• Authors with multiple affiliations have their score distributed across regions according to the affiliation shares they provided. The ranking is performed using the set of authors or institutions within the region, recomputing the scores within the set. The ranking done by simply looking up the worldwide ranking for those authors or institutions from this region is provided in the W.Rank column and put in [square brackets].
• Please note that rankings can depend on the number of registered authors in the respective institutions. Register at the RePEc Author Service to be counted.

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).
