I don’t get why anyone would be impressed with economic theory. No predictions whatsoever— just a lot of machismo math posturing signifying absolutely nothing.
A massive waste of time and energy.
Ranking departments by their best theorists

APS?
If you're going to include Gilboa for decision theory, you should also include Gul and Pesendorfer, though it's not clear that any of them should be on such a list.
Fudenberg is at MIT, where I'd put Morris right next to him.
If you're basing on lifetime contribution, then Kreps should be next to Milgrom at Stanford.Hebrew: Aumann
Tel Aviv: Rubinstein Gilboa
Harvard: Fudenberg
NYU: APS
Stanford: Milgrom
They have changed the way we do theory!

Stanford: Milgrom Kreps Wilson Roth
BC: Sonmez
Don’t focus on top departments. Tbh, Sonmez is the best matching theorist out there.Hi, Tayfun
I am not him. Name someone whose work is more influential than his if you don’t agree.

Not sure whether Tayfun should be on this list of giants. But he is way ahead of anyone in matching theory.
