Where is Waldo? RESEARCHERS RANKING....



Following link introduces you to the latest ranking of Economic Researchers according to REPEC:
RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 75 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. 

Here the fact:an economist DEEPLY involved in his metier  is ranked through an OBJECTIVE RANKING SYSTEM. You can disagree on some parameters but yet is NOT SUBJECTIVE. Period. 


A Full Time Academic  has the OBLIGATION to publish. His intellectuals Contributions are utterly important .


Again: rankings are always debatable and sources of...disputes,  though cogent,   surprises are right there.


Per example, a trendy Nouriel Roubini, much trendier in downward markets- is ranked #554 out of #1505: a great performance for a simple Bocconi's graduated  or a poor one for a "global nomad 5 million USD house" Stern's Professor ? You judge. 


A Great one not so trendy and rich  like Brad De Long is  only 381 ?


Do not look for Didier Sornette, is not even there  despite he's geniality and incredible bridging capacity.


Krugman? 14Th....
