According to a recent work published in the Spanish Economic Review (“Publishing performance of Spanish academics: 1970-2004”, David Rodríguez, December 2006), the Department of Economics and Business (DEB-UPF) is ranked first according to the most commonly used ranking methodologies. Furthermore, several researchers which have been affiliated to the department during its brief history are among the most productive and cited.

According to the three different methodologies which have been proposed to rank European economics departments with respect to scientific production, this study reports that the DEB-UPF is ranked first during the period 1985-2004 and more recent subperiods within this larger period (even despite the fact that it started operation in 1991).

With respect to individual researchers based in Spanish institutions, even despite the fact that the study is run only until 2004, eight researchers which hold or have held positions at the DEB-UPF appear as the most productive and cited : Fabio Canova, Jordi Galí, Albert Marcet, Andreu Mas-Colell, Ramon Marimon, Massimo Motta, Gilles Saint-Paul and Xavier Sala i Martin.
