Does anybody has this new rank?
I read they did this rank over the previous 20 years: 1985 - 2004.

Grijalva and Nowell, A Guide to Graduate Study in Economics: Ranking Economics Departments by Fields of Expertise, Southern Economic Journal 2008, 74 (4), 971-996.

Abstract:
Ph.D. programs in economics are ranked overall and by subject field. The results provide insight to students researching graduate programs in economics in specific subject fields. Results indicate that (i) differences in overall research productivity measures diminish as a university's rank declines; (ii) a university ranked highly in a particular subject field may be the result of a single, extremely productive faculty member; and (iii) many programs outside the traditional top 20 programs are ranked high in specific subject fields.

I can't find Issue 4 in my schools electronic journals database (though issue 3 is there).

the three points they make in the abstract are nothing new, i think. but, i would like to see the rankings they use.

Well, here are their Agricultural and environmental rankings:

Iowa State U
North Carolina State U
U Wyoming
Harvard U
Yale U
UC Santa Barbara
MIT
U Rhode Island
Georgetown U
SUNY Binghamton
Stanford U
U Colorado, Boulder
Utah State U
RPI
U Connecticut
UC San Diego
Rutgers U
Brown U
U Wisconsin, Madison
Georgia State U

My school in the top 10? Amazing. Though I think we only have one environmental person, and I don't know of anyone doing agricultural economics, lol.

And where is Berkeley?

I think it's a ranking of standard departments. I don't think Berkeley, Maryland, Cornell's ARE, etc were included.

I knew i recognized the names, so i checked my email and sure enough! Grijalva was the name ! She got her Phd here at UNM, and in December she presented this paper at our weekly seminar. So here is the paper she sent us before the seminar. Im not sure if they made changes to the paper before it was published but here it is:
