Faculty Ratings of Major Economics Departments by Citations

Paul J. Davis, Gustav F. Papanek

Abstract

The predominant ranking criterion for judging the comparative quality of economics departments has been the faculty publication record in a set of major journals.' In this tradition is a recent article which generates rankings based on volume of pages published in twenty-four top journals during 1974-78 (Philip Graves et al., 1982). Separate rankings are calculated for total and per capita contributions, and credit is accorded to the institution at which the author is employed at the time of publication.2
