The Ranking of Economics Journals by a Tournament Method

 

Abstract

 

The ranking of journals has attracted much interest lately in the field of economics. Citation analysis has emerged as the "objective" method to measure quality. Numerous ranking methods have been proposed, but the large number already hints some arbitrariness in at least some of these models. We present a novel method based on a tournament among journals, that is invariant to citation intensities and size and is not manipulable.
