Ranking Economics Departments in Europe: A Statistical Approach
利用JEL光盘数据库十年数据，结合专家意见和引用数据对期刊分级，统计欧洲十五国及加州的经济学系发表成果，给出排名并附标准差以反映不确定性。
We provide a ranking of economics departments in Europe and we discuss the methods used to obtain it. The JEL CD-ROM serves as a database for a period covering ten years. Journals are ranked using a combination of expert opinions and citation data to produce a scale from 1 to 10. The publication output and habits of fifteen European countries plus California are then compared. Individuals with a contribution greater than a predetermined minimum level are regrouped into departments which are ranked according to their total scores. A standard deviation is provided to underline the uncertainty of this ranking.
