AM I AN ECONOMIST?

This is the latest in the "am I something?" series, for a TOC see HERE.

The question "Am I an economist?" was triggered by the 2026 edition of the Stanford/Elsevier top 2% scientists database. The table below was extracted from that database.


What the table shows is all those scientists in the database (49 of them) who have a Danish affiliation and who have "Economics & Business" as their scientific field. The table is on a single-year (2025) basis.  There are 20 fields and 174 subfields in the database. 

Below is a similar table, but on a career basis (there are 40 entries in that list). One can see that even though the lists and rankings are different, I am No. 5 in both tables.



For more information on the 2026 edition of the database see HERE, and for some comments of mine for that edition, see HERE.
