top economists

[Jim Westrich]

A fuller cite with discussion of methods and the ridiculousness of it 
all (and updated rankings!).  The discuss and report many different 
rankings (the suave Mr. Sala-i-Martin only mentioned the one, 
presumably, that gave him the highest ranking).

In one of the methods Brad DeLong is 83!

It was interesting to see that the only UMass [where I work] people in 
the Sala-i-Martin table were a Poli Sci prof (because the method 
includes major Poli Sci journals without any attempt to show economic 
relevance) and a mechanical engineering prof.
