A Multidimensional Ranking of Australian Economics Departments

THE ECONOMIC RECORD, Issue 256 2006
JOAN R. RODGERS
This study uses cluster analysis to classify Australian economics departments into groups that have similar quantities of research output, measured by two publication counts, and similar quality of research output, measured by a citation count. Three groups of departments are identified and factor analysis is used to rank the groups. Whether research output is measured in total or on a per staff basis, Melbourne is in the group that ranks first, the remaining members of the ,group of eight' are in one or other of the top two groups, and at least 15 other departments are in the third-ranked group.

Rankings of Australian Economics Departments, 1988,2000

THE ECONOMIC RECORD, Issue 241 2002
Dipendra Sinha
This paper provides new rankings for Australian university economics departments for the periods 1988,2000, 1988,1994 and 1994,2000 using the ECONLIT database. We rank economics departments using two different journal ranking criteria - one based on citations and the other based on perceptions of journal quality. In addition, we provide updates on the rankings using the Towe and Wright (1995) methodology. We find that the perception-based rankings are quite different from the citation-based rankings.

RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY OF AUSTRALIAN ACADEMIC ECONOMISTS: HUMAN-CAPITAL AND FIXED EFFECTS,

AUSTRALIAN ECONOMIC PAPERS, Issue 1 2007
JOAN R. RODGERS
This study investigates why some economics departments in Australian universities are more research productive than others. The hypothesis is simple: research productivity depends upon the human capital of department members and the department-specific conditions under which they work. A Tobit model is used to estimate the magnitude of the two effects. Both are found to be important. Our results help explain why a small number of departments consistently outperform the others in studies that rank Australian economics departments according to research output. [source]
