Universities and Authors: A Ranking Based on Published Papers

We rank universities and colleges 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 sub-fields rankings and that of the general field of Economics, so that the sub-field rankings provide extra information. The sub-fields ranks may be useful for students considering post-graduate work in specific areas.
