We have occasionally been asked what the most popular web pages are on RePEc. This is somewhat difficult to determine, as there are many RePEc services, and they may log traffic in different ways. Only the counting of abstract views and downloads is treated uniformly, at LogEc. The list below should thus be taken with a grain of salt, and may be subject to measurement error and seasonal factors. In fact, one page is missing and should be somewhere in the top of the list, the EconPapers search page. Here we go:
- IDEAS search result
- IDEAS home
- Rankings
- RePEc Author Service home
- IDEAS journal list
- IDEAS paper series list
- IDEAS author list
- Top authors
- Top journals by simple impact factor
- Top economics departments
- Fantasy league
- EDIRC home
- MyIDEAS
- IDEAS advanced search page
- EDIRC alphabetical listing
- RePEc Author Service automatic suggestions
- IDEAS book series list
- EconPapers home
- MyIDEAS login
- Top US economics departments
- Top young economists
- Top institutions
- IDEAS JEL classification home
- CitEc home
A surprisingly large number of links to the rankings are in the list above. That should not indicate that economists are obsessed with rankings. IDEAS for example, has about two million web pages. The ranking pages actually represent only a small fraction of total traffic.
