Harvard at the Top in Tilburg University’s Worldwide Economics Research Ranking for Universities

Recognizing the need for a worldwide research ranking for economics comparable to those carried out by the University of Texas, Dallas for business schools and by Arizona State University for finance research, Tilburg University in the Netherlands has published a ranking based on counting all faculty publications in 68 economics journals in the five-year period 2005-09.  Publications by all Harvard economists, not just members of the Department of Economics, are included.      

Tilburg ranks Harvard University at the top, with almost 50% more publications than the second ranked school, the University of Chicago. 

Tilburg also provides a tool that can be used to rank schools over different time periods and subsets of economics journals.
