Rankings
(1) B.H. Baltagi [‘Worldwide Institutional Rankings in Econometrics: 1989-1995’, Econometric
Theory, 14, 1998, pp. 1-43] ranked all econometricians worldwide who had published one or
more papers in the top 15 nominated international journals in economics, econometrics and
statistics which publish econometrics papers. Of the 2,938 econometricians appearing in this
highly selective list, I was the highest ranked Australian econometrician in ‘total
econometrics papers published’ (at number 18 in Table 6) and ‘total econometrics pages
published’ (at number 57 in Table 5).
(2) The rankings in (1) were updated by B.H. Baltagi [‘Worldwide Institutional and Individual
Rankings in Econometrics Over the Period 1989-1999: An Update’, Econometric Theory,
19, 2003, pp. 165-224]. Of the 7,765 econometricians in this highly selective list, I was the
highest ranked Australian econometrician in ‘total econometrics papers published’ (at
number 28 in Table 7), and the second highest ranked Australian econometrician in both
‘total theoretical econometrics pages published’ (at number 77 in Table 5), and in ‘total
theoretical econometrics papers published’ (at number 30 in Table 6).
(3) Of the 1,407 articles published in the Journal of Econometrics over the period 1981-1999,
my joint paper with Gordon Fisher (‘Alternative procedures and associated tests of
significance for non-nested hypotheses’, Vol. 16, 1981, pp. 103-119), which was a chapter
of my PhD dissertation, was the 26’th most frequently cited article, with 81 citations [see J.
5
Dirkmaat, Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 100, 2001, pp. 99-112]. Of the 70 articles
published by econometricians affiliated with Australian universities, for which the median
citation was 5 and the mean citation was 9.6, my joint paper was the most frequently cited.
(4) D. Sinha and J. Macri [‘Rankings of Economists in Teaching Economics Departments in
Australia, 1988-2000’, under review for Journal of Economic Surveys] ranked over 600 fulltime academic economists in Australia who had published papers in the leading 400
economics journals worldwide. I was one of four economists, and the only econometrician,
with the distinction of being ranked among the top 25 publishers according to all eight
rankings criteria.
