% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

REPEC serves a useful purpose as it provides a type of accounting balance sheet on the performance of tens of thousands of academic economists. Does past performance predict future returns? Theories of momentum might be relevant here? The data suggest that I had a good December 2015.

World Ranking out of 45,000 economists based on the last 10 years of output:

184	Pete Klenow Department of Economics, Stanford University, Stanford, California (USA)	148.33
		148.89
186	Matthew E. Kahn Department of Economics, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California (USA)	148.91

188	Jose Alexandre Scheinkman Department of Economics, School of Arts and Sciences, Columbia University, New York City, New York (USA)	150.21
189	Iván Werning Economics Department, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts (US

Dr. Scheinkman taught me Econ 302 back at the University of Chicago in Winter 1989. I don’t believe he would agree with this ranking.
