Det fantastiske er, at på plads nummer seks kommer ex-punditokraten Nicolai Foss (CBS), som sammen med andre kører bloggen Organizations and Markets. Nicolai, som jeg har fornøjelsen af at arbejde sammen med for tiden, er også en af de mest læste danske økonomer i de senere år (ifølge RePecs statistik). Samtidig er han en skarp og ofte ret morsom polemisk hjerne, som er værd at læse – både på bloggen og i mere tydeligt videnskabeligt arbejde.

Et stort tillykke til Nicolai. Konklusionen må være, at vi simpelthen stjæler for lidt fra Organizations & Markets! Artiklens abstract kan læses nedenfor, og hele artiklen her.

This study gathers information on a wide array of economics bloggers and blogs in order to develop a ranking of economics bloggers that is based on citations to their academic research. This ranking is used in an iterative process that next presents a ranking of economics blogs that is based on the ranking of economics bloggers, and finally a ranking of economics departments that is based on the ranking of economics blogs. The ranking of blogs included in this study is positively correlated with an external ranking based on their productivity (popularity), whereas the department ranking presented here comports quite well with department rankings in Coupé (2003) and Roessler (2004) that are developed with more traditional measures, such as the impact of the scholarship of an economics department’s faculty.
