UvA scores high in 2010 Tilburg University Economics Ranking

The University of Amsterdam was placed 28th in a list of the 100 best economics research institutes in the new international Tilburg University Economics Ranking. Four other Dutch universities also made it into the top 100: Tilburg University finished 23rd, Erasmus University Rotterdam was ranked 46th, Maastricht University was 66th and VU University Amsterdam rounded off the list at number 87.

At the top of the list were Harvard University, University of Chicago, New York University and the University of California, Berkeley.

The rankings are an initiative of Tilburg University's Faculty of Economics and Business. Rank is based on a university's publications in leading international economics journals between 2005 and 2009. The database contains the number of published articles for each university, each year and for each journal in which the publication appeared.
