Latest economics research rankings in Missouri

RePEc is a website that acts as an on-line repository for economics research. They use the enormous amount of information they have to rank journals, people, and organizations. I don't put much stock in their rankings because they used oddly biased information in peculiar ways.

But, what the heck. They must know what they're doing because my institute continues to be highly ranked in Missouri, even though the rankings don't control for size. Here are the latest rankings of academic departments and economists, which I cleaned up a bit to remove retirees and the two Feds, because their rankings can be driven by double counting.
