I am pleased to have this blog listed again as one of the Top 100 Economics Blogs by the Intelligent Economist and to have Richtopia list me as one of the top 100 most economists most influential online. I try hard not to let desire for rank cause me to sacrifice anything else important, but I like high rank :) You do too ;)

If you want, you can see more purely academic indications of rank for me in this post. The numbers fluctuate from month to month, but by REPEC’s overall ranking, with rounding, I am roughly the 450th highest ranked economist in the world and I am roughly 250th by fully-adjusted citations (“Number of Citations, Weighted by Number of Authors and Recursive Impact Factors, Discounted by Citation Age”). Currently, I am listed by REPEC as 121st economist in number of Twitter followers.

I am currently 79th on REPEC in “Breadth of citations across fields.” I like this because I see myself as interested in almost everything in economics, as well as many, many things that are outside of economics as its boundaries are conventionally understood. (But see “Economics Needs to Tackle All of the Big Questions in the Social Sciences” and “Defining Economics.” I would love to see “economic imperialism” extend to nutrition, as you can gather from reading my diet and health posts.)
