RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) recently assessed the research output of over 8700 institutions world-wide, and the EUI's Department of Economics was ranked #14 for the publication success of its graduates.
The ranking uses publication data from the past ten years and only counts works by graduates of the department who are registered as authors with the RePEc site, a highly respected repository and bibliographic database in the field.
Since 2021, the Economics Department has moved up one position in this ranking, to #14 in the world.
RePEc is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 103 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics and related sciences. The heart of the project is a decentralised bibliographic database of working papers, journal articles, books, books chapters, and software components.
The rankings of publication success use a weighted composite of 36 indicators relating to citation, page views, downloads, and more. Many of these indicators are updated daily and some monthly, so the ranking can change often.
