Ranking Economics Journals and Articles, Economics Departments, and Economists Using
Teaching-Focused Research Productivity: 1991-2011
Melody Lo, M.C. Sunny Wong, Franklin G. Mixon and Carlos J. Asarta*
Abstract
Journal rankings have been used as a common low-cost management tool by academic
institutions to measure research productivity among scholars. In this paper, we extend the work
by Lo et al. (2008) that produced rankings of economics journals, departments, and economists
based on teaching-focused research productivity. In particular, we update these rankings by using
both a more refined ranking method published in Econometrica (Palacios-Huerta and Volij,
2004) and a larger database consisting of 1,172 articles published across 20 economics journals
from 1991 to 2011. In addition, we produce a new ranking that provides a list of the top 20 most
influential articles in the field of economic education. Our findings should be of interest to
university administrators, researchers publishing in the field of economic education and students
seeking graduate programs with a research focus in economic education.

1. Introduction
Growth in the relevance and importance of research in economic education has been one
of the more remarkable aspects of academic life over the past three decades. The recognition of
the importance of economic education research began in the mid-1990s by the editors of the
Journal of Economic Education (JEE) pointing out that their publication had risen to a ranking
of 27th among all journals in economics and related fields (see Laband and Piette, 1994). The
importance of economic education research continued to grow with the launching of several new
journals in the field over the last 15 years, ranging from traditional journals mirroring the JEE to
one offering an outlet for heterodox approaches to economic education.1 Growth in the field has
also received a substantial boost with the recent publication of the International Handbook on
Teaching and Learning Economics, an expansive volume edited by two of the field’s leading
scholars (see Hoyt and McGoldrick, 2011). Additional evidence of the growing interest in
economic education research is the growing participation in the annual American Economic
Association Conference on Teaching and Research in Economic Education, which has almost
doubled over the past four years.
Advances in economic education have also been made at the K-12 level. In its 2014
report, the Council for Economic Education (CEE) indicates that all 50 states now include
economics among the subjects listed in their learning standards, while 22 states require that
students successfully complete a course in economics (CEE, 2014). Research by Walstad and
Rebeck (2012) indicates that the above requirements make a difference – as more states require
economic education, more students complete a course in economics. In light of the
advancements made in economic education, this paper updates and extends prior work by Lo et
al. (2008) that measures the relative influence of journals, departments and economists in the
field of economic education based on the method suggested by Laband and Piette (1994). Our
study utilizes the most updated ranking method, named invariant method, of Palacios-Huerta and
Volij (2004) to evaluate the quality of scholarly contributions. This approach, improved upon the
method by Laband and Piette (1994), standardizes the direct citation impact of each article by
controlling for reference intensity among journals.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In section 2 we give a brief review of
ranking methods used in the literature and we discuss the specific ranking methodologies that we
employ to arrive at our new economics journal ranking in this study. In section 3 we present the
data. In section 4 we report various ranking results. Section 5 contains our conclusions.

Among these are International Review of Economics Education (IREE), Journal of Economics and Finance Education (JEFE),
Perspectives on Economic Education Research (PEER), Australasian Journal of Economics Education (AJEE), Journal for
Economics Educators (JfEE), Journal of Economics and Economic Education Research (JEEER) and International Journal of
Pluralism and Economics Education (IJPEE). Two journals in this field, JEE and IREE, are published by Taylor & Francis and
Elsevier, respectively, while another, IJPEE, is published by Inderscience. The remaining journals are independently published,
although two of them, JEFE and JEEER are affiliated with academic organizations (Academy of Economics and Finance and
Allied Academies, respectively).

2. Ranking Methodology
Counting citations is a well-established method in the literature to rank economics
journals. Over the years, several different citation methods have been developed, but the opinion
in the profession has tended to support the impact-adjusted citation method of Liebowitz and
Palmer (1984). The impact-adjusted method adjusts citations using a measure of the influence of
the citing journals. Given that there is a tendency for articles in a given journal to cite other
articles published in the same journal, Laband and Piette (1994) advanced the notion that a
sensible ranking procedure needs to exclude self-citations. Following this notion, the formulation
for the impact-adjusted citation count is as follows:
∑
,
,
,
(1)
where n is the total number of journals to be ranked within a fixed period of time, is the total
number of articles published in journal i,
is the number of citations to journal i from journal j,
and the iteration starts from
,
∑
⁄
,
.
Most recently, Palacios-Huerta and Volij (2004) added a refinement to the impactadjusted citation method by adjusting for reference intensity among journals. This method is
referred as the invariant method and the formulation for the invariant-method citation count is as
follows:
,
∑
⁄
,
⁄
,
(2)
∑
∑ ,
⁄ ⁄ ⁄
where
, and the iteration starts from ,
. In this
definition, ⁄ gives the reference intensity of journal j. Essentially, this method ranks journals
based on the average number of citations of an article in journal i out of the average number of
references by a typical article in journal j.
In this paper, particular emphasis is given to the ranking results generated by the
invariant method of , detailed in equation (2) as it is the only ranking method that
simultaneously satisfies invariance to reference intensity, weak homogeneity, weak consistency,
and invariance to splitting of journals.2
3. Data
To construct our economic education research ranking of economics journals, we collect data
through EconLit on published articles that list one or more of the economic education
classification codes of A200–A290 from the Journal of Economic Literature during the years
1991–2011. This process produced a total of 2,777 articles, with 1,186 coming from 22 journals
2
See Palacios-Huerta and Volij (2004) for the exact definitions of these concepts.
3
publishing six or more articles each.3 In order to measure the relative quality of these published
articles, collecting citation data from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) is necessary.
Among the 22 journals, two of them do not have citation data listed in SSCI, and are therefore
dropped from our database. In total, our database contains 1,172 articles across 20 journals. For
each of 1,172 articles, we tabulate citations from the SSCI, with the citation window ending in
December of 2012. 4
4. Ranking Results
4.1 Sample Article Distributions
Table 1 gives the distribution of the economic education articles in these journals. Among
the 20 journals, as expected the JEE publishes the largest number of economic education articles
(677). The JEE is followed by American Economic Review (AER) (80), American Economist
(52), Southern Economic Journal (SEJ) (49), and Review of Agricultural Economics (43) in
rounding out the top five. Together, these four journals published 224 articles in economic
education.5 It is important to note that a number of new journals appear in the list since the
publication of Lo et al. (2008), which uses a publication window of 1991 to early 2005. These
new journals include Econ Journal Watch, Amfiteatru Economic, South African Journal of
Economics and Australian Economic Papers. Also included among this group are Review of
Radical Political Economics and Feminist Economics, two heterodox economics journals.
4.2 Journal Rankings
To account for the relative quality of published articles, we tabulate the citations for each
of 1,172 articles in the SSCI. Table 2 presents the citation counts of the top 15 sample journals
based on both the impact-adjusted citation method and the invariant method detailed in equations
(1) and (2), respectively. The corresponding journal ranking is given in the first column based on
the results of the invariant method. According to this method, the top three journals are Journal
of Economic Literature (JEL), Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) and AER.6 Rounding out
the top five journals are Economics of Education Review and Economic Inquiry, while JEE ranks
seventh using this method. Interestingly, the Spearman rank-correlation coefficient for the main
ranking in Table 2 and that in Lo et al. (2008) is only 0.75 (p=.052), indicating there has been a
noticeable change in journal rankings (in terms of economic education scholarship) over time.
Most notably, JEP has risen from eighth to second, SEJ has risen from thirteenth to sixth and the
leading field journal, JEE, has risen from fifteenth to seventh overall when comparing the results
in Table 2 to those in Lo et al. (2008).
3
Journals publishing no more than six economic education articles over the 1991-2011 period were dropped from the sample, as
these journals evidently allocate very little space/resources to economic education research.
4
One may be concerned that the General and Other codes (A200 and A290, respectively) create some “noise” in our rankings, as
they only tangentially cover economic education topics, and that more reliable rankings could be achieved by using JEL codes
A210, A220, and A230 (i.e., Pre-college, Undergraduate and Graduate, respectively) only. To address this concern, we produce
an additional set of ranking results using articles listed with one or more of these three codes. The results (not reported here, but
available upon request) reveal that there is virtually no difference from any of the ranking results reported in this study.
5
The May issue of the AER devotes an entire section to economic education, while issues of SEJ include a section titled
“Targeting Teaching” that is geared toward economic education research.
6
Both ranking methods yield the same numerical ranking results for the top three journals.

4.3 Article Rankings
Table 3 presents a ranking of the top 20 articles in economic education using influence of
economic education research. The top article, both using the invariant-method and the impactadjusted method, was published in the JEP in 2005, and was authored by David Colander. Two
articles published in the JEL, one by Hansen (1991) and another by Krueger (1991), join
Colander’s article in the top three. The ranking of the Hansen and Krueger articles, however,
varies significantly depending on the method used to rank them. The best represented journal in
the list is JEE, with nine out of the 20 articles being published in that academic outlet. In
addition, a strong signal emerges from the titles of the articles and the content presented in them:
Undergraduate economic education, and more specifically articles focused on principles courses,
seem to receive the most attention and thus have the most impact in the economic education
field.
4.4 Departments/Institutions Rankings
Next, to rank departments (in different institutions), we collect affiliation information for
each of the authors included in the sample articles. We recorded an institution once only when
multiple authors of one paper were affiliated with a single institution. Given that our focus is on
institutions of higher education, we do not report affiliation information on authors belonging to
non-teaching organizations in either the private or public sectors. Following this process, Table 4
presents the information on total citations by institution. Indiana University, Vanderbilt
University, University of Iowa, Purdue University and University of Nebraska top the list. This
finding is not surprising given that these institutions have historically recognized the value of
economic education research, and one of them is home to the editor and a section editor of the
Journal of Economic Education. Denison University and Middlebury College, two well-known
liberal arts colleges, are part of the top 25 ranking of economics departments.
In Table 4, we also report a proportional citation ranking by taking into account the
number of authors per article. In the event that an author had several affiliations, the citation
credit was distributed among his/her various affiliations. For illustrative purpose, consider an
article with four authors each affiliated to a different institution. If their article received 20
citations, each of the institutions would be credited with five cites. On the other hand, if all four
authors were members of the same institution, then that institution would receive credit for all 20
cites. Finally, if one of the authors was affiliated with two institutions, then each of the
institutions would receive a credit of 2.5 cites. Using this proportional citation method, the
University of Wisconsin replaces Purdue University in the Top 5 ranking of economics
departments, while the ranking of the top three schools remains unchanged when compared to
the total citations ranking. Of special interest is the fact that University of Iowa is third
regardless of the method used to rank departments, but that ranking is achieved with only two
authors. In contrast, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Purdue, and Nebraska all have more than 10 different
authors contributing to the ranking.
5
We further provide the economic department rankings based on the total publication page
counts weighted by both citation counts methods. Table 5 gives the results on this ranking. The
University of Nebraska rises to number one, followed by Indiana University and University of
Wisconsin. This result holds regardless of the citation method used to rank the departments.
Oberlin College, an institution not included in the top 25 ranking presented in Table 4, places
fourth using the invariant method. Several other departments, such as those of the University of
California – San Diego, Grinnell College and University of Texas, are also present in Table 5 but
absent in Table 4.
Finally, we rank economics departments based on proportional citations to articles
published in the JEE; Table 6 gives such ranking results. Table 6 also includes information on
the number of articles published in JEE, the number of total JEE citations and proportional JEE
citations per page. While Vanderbilt University, Indiana University and University of Nebraska
remain in the top 5, New York University and Illinois State University rise to the top 3 of the list.
Vanderbilt University also tops the number of JEE articles and total citations rankings, with 30
JEE articles and 226 citations, respectively. Given that several of the departments included in
Tables 4 and 5 are well represented in this “teaching methods” ranking, this result provides
additional support for those previous rankings.
4.5 Economists Rankings
A ranking of economic education articles and departments would not be complete
without ranking the economists who contribute to them. Table 7 focuses on economic education
research productivity at the individual level based on the number of economic education
publications, as well as the number of pages in those publications. John Siegfried tops the list
with 44 publications and 335 pages of economic education output. The former JEE editor,
William Becker, and its current editor, William Walstad, are also among the top 5 economists in
the field. Interestingly, only eight authors have more than 10 economic education publications in
our database within the time frame of 1991-2011, while only 19 authors have more than four
publications.
A ranking of economic educators can also be generated by looking at the total number of
citations, citations per article and citations per page published. Table 8 presents the ranking
results when the total number of citations is taken into account. The results show that William
Becker rises to the top of the list with 362 citations. John Siegfried and Michael Watts join
Becker in the top 3 ranking with 292 and 215 citations, respectively. Interestingly, two authors
who were not listed in Table 7, Deirdre McCloskey and Stephen Ziliak, rank fourth in the
number of total citations, and first in the ranking of citations per article. This is due to the high
volume of citations they received for their single economic education article. The total citations
generated by the top 5 economists are roughly equivalent to the total citations received by the
next 20 economists in the field, at around 1,150 citations.

5 Conclusions
The research productivity of academic departments and scholars is often evaluated based
on journal rankings, and the journal rankings are typically generated based on the citation counts
of the published articles. Following these typical procedures in generating rankings, this paper
contributes to the rankings literature by building upon Lo et al.’s work (2008), using a refined
method to rank journals, articles, economics departments and economists in the field of
economic education. Using data from both EconLit and the Social Science Citation Index
(SSCI), we find that the Journal of Economic Education continues to rank first in number of
articles published, at 667, but once we account for the reference intensity among journals, the
Journal of Economic Literature tops the ranking list. The Journal of Economic Education also
published nine of the Top 20 articles in economic education since 1991, with David Colander’s
paper “The Making of an Economist Redux,” (Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2005) topping
the list. Indiana University and University of Nebraska sit at the top of the department rankings,
while John Siegfried and William Becker are the most influential economists in terms of total
publications and total citation counts.
As the ranking results derived in this paper do largely comply with the standard
approaches/steps in the ranking literature, we note that our ranking results can be used as a useful
management tool for academic administrators in evaluating research productivity among scholars
in the field of economic education. However, we must caution readers about the potential
limitations associated with our rankings results. First, our rankings are limited to journals that
have citation data available in the SSCI. To that extent, it is important to recognize that economic
education research not published in journals included in the SSCI may also have some impact in
the field. Second, the duration of time since publication plays a role in contributing to the total
number of citations received by an article. All else held equal, one would expect older articles to
have received more cites than newer articles. As the time factor is typically not considered in the
ranking literature (including this study), special consideration should be given to recentlypublished articles when evaluating research productivity. Considering these potential limitations,
we also note that the rankings provided in this paper should not serve as the only and final
measure used by administrators when evaluating the productivity among economic education
articles and economists.
