who is the best economist in China?

according to the recent ranking released by the IDEAS economic research institute of the St. Louis branch of the federal reserve system of the United States in May this year, among the more than 32, economists in the world, there are 18 Chinese economists among the 1,621 top economists in the top 5%.

among these 18 economists, Zou Hengfu, co-director of the Academic Committee of China Institute of Economics and Management, Central University of Finance and Economics, Wei Shangjin, professor of Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, Bai Jushan, professor of economics at Columbia University, Li Longfei, professor of Ohio University, and Zhang Xianwang, a professor at the University of California, St. Louis and City University of Hong Kong, rank in the top five, among which Professor Zou Hengfu ranks 146th, which is the first time that a Chinese economist has entered the top 15 in the world.

This ranking counts the number of academic papers, works and periodicals published by economists registered in REPEC (Research Papers in Economics) and the times of their academic works being cited, downloaded and browsed. All economists are judged according to 31 different criteria (such as the number of academic papers published, the number of independent authors or several co-authors, the number of papers cited, the number of times of being downloaded, and the recursive factors of cited papers, etc.). The comprehensive ranking of the world's top economists is obtained by comprehensively considering the above standards, removing the maximum and minimum values, and taking its harmonic average.

the deadline for the survey is may 212. Only economists registered in the American Economic Research Series (REPEC) and papers listed in REPEC will be considered. It should be noted that although its influence is expanding day by day, its ranking method based on the number of papers and their citations is biased, and it pays insufficient attention to other factors in academic research, such as peer review and academic prestige, and does not give a fair measure to non-English works, so it is only used as a reference index in academic circles. Wang Jian, a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, commented on the Weibo: "Just look at this ranking. If you are too serious, you will be laughed at by insiders. "

among the 18 Chinese-American economists, more than one-third of them are involved in macroeconomics, five economists are involved in econometrics, four are involved in monetary policy, and three are involved in agricultural economics. It can be seen that macroeconomics and econometrics have become the two mainstream research fields of Chinese-American economists. At the same time, it can be noted that all Chinese-American economists have obtained doctoral degrees abroad (16 are located in the United States, 1 is located in Canada, 1 located in Australia), most of them work in American universities or economic institutions, but in recent years, there has been a trend of being employed by universities in China and returning to China to teach.

It is worth thinking that even if this list is not comprehensive, there is no Chinese figure among the top 1 economists in the world. Dr. Zou Hengfu, who ranks first among Chinese economists, ranks only 146th in the world. How far are Chinese economists from the top level in the world?
