The Social Science Research Network has published its university rankings for June.
The Higher School of Economics has, for the first time, improved every single one of its indicators.
Over the last month the number of university authors who have published their papers on SSRN has grown again. The HSE is in 5th place among 1500 socio-economic universities, departments and research centers based on this indicator.
In addition to this, the HSE is now among the top 10 universities by the number of new papers added over the last 12 months and among the top 50 by the number of new papers downloaded. In June the university improved its position in terms of the number of citations from 197th to 150th. And in the ranking which reflects statistics since the SSRN website was created, the HSE is now in 74th position by the number of papers and 94th place by the number of downloads.
The leader, in terms of the number of views and downloads among working papers, was the work by Gaaitzen J. de Vries, Abdul A. Erumban, Marcel P. Timmer, Ilya B. Voskoboynikov and Harry X. Wu ‘Deconstructing The BRICs: Structural Transformation and Aggregate Productivity Growth’ published as part of the series in Economics. Working papers by Anna Lukiyanova on ‘Effects of Minimum Wages on the Russian Wage Distribution’ and Nadezhda Lebedeva, Peter Schmidt ‘Values and Attitudes towards Innovation among Canadian, Chinese and Russian Students’ have also proved particularly popular and moved up to 6th and 8th place respectively in the ranking among the HSE programme of fundamental research working papers.
