This is one of the few ratings that assess not universities, but individual schools within universities and other organizations that have publication activity on economics

In the September update of the RePEc ratings, the UrFU Graduate School of Economics and Management took 298th place in the European 10/10 ranking. This ranking takes into account the publication performance of the top 10 authors from each institution over the past 10 years. It is led by London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the Swiss Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the French Paris School of Economics (PSE).

“The positions in this ranking cannot be compared with positions in university rankings, as it reflects individual business schools and other organizations. For example, different schools of the University of Oxford took four positions in the TOP-300, the University of Cambridge - three positions, and so on. Also in the top three hundred are the European Central Bank, central banks of more than a dozen European countries and many other organizations with high publication activity on economics. Thus, the current position of the School is an excellent result, reflecting its high quantitative and qualitative indicators of publication activity,” said Dmitry Gladyrev, director of GSEM Center for Research Support.

GSEM also continues to improve its position in the Russian ranking. Now the School ranks 6th in the overall Russian ranking and 3rd in the 10/10 ranking. Also noteworthy are the positions of the School’s researchers in the individual national ranking, taking into account the indicators of the last ten years: Kazi Sohag - 2nd place, Alberto Ferraris - 6th place, Ivan Savin - 19th place, Shujaat Abbas - 66th place, Oleg Mariev - 83rd place. The first three researchers are also included in the TOP 50 national rankings of all time.

 

GSEM Senior researcher at the School of Economics and Management and Associate Professor Kazi Sohag also continues to improve his position in the ranking of the best young economists in the world: if in February of this year he entered the top 100, taking 84th place, now he has already risen to 67th place.
