NOTE: Owing to an oversight in the compilation of data previously published (22 April 2010) on authors who published 20 or more papers cited 50 or more times in economics and business journals during the period 1970 through 2009, we are re-publishing the table with revised and corrected data. The former list neglected to consider cases in which an author published under different name variants (such as Richard Thaler and also Richard H. Thaler). Of the 59 names previously listed, the lack of author name unification materially affected the ranking of six individuals (Feldstein, Heckman, Milgrom, Stiglitz, Thaler, and Vishny). Also, an additional nine names appear in this correction (Blanchard, Blundell, Camerer, Deaton, Glaeser, Hart, Krueger, Krugman, and O’Reilly).

The list above ranks authors in the fields of economics, finance, and business management by the number of papers published from 1970 through 2009 that were cited 50 or more times. Citations to those papers, as well as citations per paper (impact), for those articles are also listed. Of the 68 authors who can claim 20 or more such papers over this period, ten have been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, to give the award its formal name. Typically Nobel Prize winners are not only highly cited but have contributed multiple highly cited papers over many years. Thus, many of the names listed here may be presumed potential Nobel laureates. In its predictions of the Nobel Prize offered annually since 2002, Thomson Reuters has suggested that Tirole, Fama, Barro, Thaler, French, Hart, Helpman, Milgrom, Holmstrom, Feldstein, and Sargent are likely winners. Previously, Thomson Reuters successfully tipped Kahneman, Engle, Granger, and Krugman for the Prize.

这个排名没有照顾到后来者，也就是年轻的学者；没有什么排名是全面的，没有瑕疵的。我们就当这个排名是一个参考吧，没有必要较真。

各有所长，不信排名

呵呵

呵呵Shleifer & Vishny做的一系列法和金融学研究正因为争议颇多，所以引用也颇多。
