   Would good like a1000 times.

   Imagine being SH:
   Your CV is impressive:
   - Abitur 1,3
   - A number of nice professorships (Bonn, Magdeburg, Hannover) in the 1990s
   - Celebrated as a "Wunderkind" in economics in the 1980s and 1990s
   - Member of important federal commissions in Germany in the 1990s and 2000s
   (https://www.fiwi.uni-hannover.de/homburg.html)
   - Some nice publications (CJE, JPubE, JITE) until 2000
   Then, the abyss: no one seems to care about your publications, your counsel, your opinions. Even worse, you are now the punching bag of RR and others, of younger scholars who overtake you left and right.
   The last refugee: Twitter and interviews with "Alternative Medien" and criminal complaints about the "Systemmedien" (https://mobile.twitter.com/SHomburg/status/1268104249155584000) and ... finally, again: thunderous applause ... you have stared into the abyss long enough that the abyss stares back at you, it stares with the face of a thousand AfD voters.

    Huh? Plenty of younger and better people hit better journals while being in Germany. It is a fact that ye olde Profs got their fame with low effort and would not stand a chance today. Scorn is deserved.

    @d95d and others on sqrt(n):

    I never really understood this logic. Suppose you have a journal that is supposed to be good like AER and that journal is assigned a value of 1 as a sign of relative quality. Lesser esteemed journals get a lower ranking value. So let us stick with an AER article with a ranking value of 1.

    If the article is single-authored that author gets all the credit. So she/he gets a 1.

    If there are two authors then an author-related 1/sqrt(n) means each auther gets credit 1/sqrt(2). Ok. What is the value of the paper in the ranking then? Well, it should be (1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)) = 2/sqrt(2). But that is bigger than one. So 'mysteriously' the (aggreagte) worth of the paper is sqrt(2) > 1. But 1 was the ranking relative to all the other journals. In my understanding this inflates the original ranking of the journal in question and the 'worth' of the piece of research in that outlet.

    As an aside: Suppose you have 6 authors, then the (aggregate) value of that one piece of research in the AER suddenly becomes sqrt(6) >> 1. And so on for n large.

    That does not make sense to me. I am fully aware that there may be huge credit-allocative problem within teams, but an equal sharing scheme seems pretty much ok to many people. Of course, single authors do not have that problem. Turning this around: Single-authored papers get 'deflated' according to the sqrt(n)-rule.

    Stefan - you really need an intervention. With the exception of the JPubEc almost every journal pub by RR (ok, he has some crap theory pubs) weakly dominates every pub by you. EER is RRs worst pub in macro.

    But by that logic, you should also discount journals that publish more papers per year than others. Otherwise, there are many people who can claim a publication in that journal, and so this "inflates the original ranking of the journal"
