Relax, the data only reach up to 2004. A lot has changed in the realm of academic economics since then.

It wasn't what I expected either. I always thought Davis was fairly strong in agricultural resource economics, but it doesn't even show up.

Yes, I don't know how many people would place Michigan 6th or MIT 4th.

Rochester at 39, but this ranking leans in favour of larger departments.

Yup, Davis shows up near the top in nearly all ARE rankings that I've come across. The methodology of this ranking has got some serious problems.

That's why you can find it in the Southern Economic Journal and not in the AER
