"Nach einer Studie der Investmentgesellschaft Janus Henderson war der Volkswagen-Konzern 2019 das Unternehmen mit den meisten Schulden weltweit."

Und heute: Erneut müssen deutsche Konzerne ihre Spitzenposition abgeben. Und wieder mal geht der 1. Platz nach China.

I could see behind the paywall. Why are still people like Pierre Boyer and Jeanne Hagenbach in the ranking when they are neither employed in the DACH region nor have a DACH nationality? They were in Mannheim for a while as APs but that was years ago. The people who produce the ranking should fix this. Otherwise we might as well do a global ranking of economists.

A few observations:
1. How can Zurich be so far away from everyone else?
2. Swiss Universities generally become more and more competitive, including some I've never heard of (Lugano anyone?). 10 out of the top 25 are in Switzerland (and 4 of the top 10).
3. Some traditionally strong departments are missing completely. Freiburg (Hi Rudi!), HU Berlin, Konstanz, Kiel, etc.

Simple answer: Switzerland pays a fair wage to Profs and Phd Students and Postdocs. -> Talent

Funny how Handelsblatt looks at this ranking and then titles “ München hat die forschungsstärkste VWL ” and then all the LMU guys congratulate themselves on econtwitter for being number one. At least UZH seems to take it with humour. I guess they don’t even compare themselves with German departments.

To be honest the Handelsblatt department ranking does not make any sense. Everybody in the field knows that Göttingen is definitely not above Cologne or even Frankfurt. The ranks of Hamburg, Bielefeld and Erlangen are also a big joke. The weighting of journals must be completely broken by now in order to generate such results.
Otherwise how could you explain such big differences to the Tilburg ranking, that measured the same metric around a similar time period.
The missing of Konstant, Kiel and Berlin is quite puzzling, even if you one argues that the Tilburg weights, or the impact factor weights are misleading the differences can never be so large.
