Avaliando pesquisadores e departamentos de economia no Brasil a partir de citações internacionais

Abstract

This paper computes citation indices for Brazilians researchers and departments based on their citation records in international journals. Citing journals are weighted by their impact factor to control for quality. Moreover we also investigate what fields of economics receive a larger proportion of weighted citations. The results show that researchers and departments that devote a major portion of their time to do research in quantitative areas are better ranked. Finally we compare the results of this research with those of similar studies in Brazil.
