Repec, last 10 years, recursive, discounted.

Please do not post about other rankings; you will look like a biased idiot.
Some citations are better than others.
This is the stupidest thread ever. If you think citations are the ultimate criterion of quality and you want a ranking to cite papers based on where they are published, why aggregate? Just judge papers directly based on citations.
The issue seems to be with the recursive ranking. RED has gone to the 102 position - ?!??!- while the simple discount factor has it at 37. This is all very strange. My bet is that this is a bug in the way repec computes factors. I know they claim that all rankings are experimental and subject to error, but still they should be careful.
There must be something wrong with this ranking. RED used to be between 20 and 30 up until the beginning of 2018. It is now 71 below JMCB and JEDC. Such a large movement in a couple of months seems unlikely.
I tend to think recursive discounted best of the five RePEc rankings. But they all have oddities, and there are some journals highly variable across them, in the top 100 on one list but not even the top 1000 on another. Then there is QJE, #1 on all of them, and the reliable JMCB, between 40 and 46 on all of them. But AEJ Micro varies from 128 to 47, or something like that.
