United States, Top Departments
There is now an amazing number of economics institutions on the WWW. This is an attempt by Christian Zimmermann ( Economic Research, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) to index them. You can suggest additional entries or modifications by sending an email to us. The entire EDIRC index can also be searched. Each institution is attributed a unique handle.This page provides links to the top US Economics departments in terms of research output, according to Richard Dusansky and Clayton J. Vernon, "Rankings of U.S. Economics Departments", Journal of Economic Perspectives, vol 12 (1), Winter 1998, pages 157-170. RePEc now also publishes its own ranking, which is updated monthly.
