UPF vs Vanderbilt for PhD
-
Anything in US top 50 > anywhere in Europe except LSE, UCL, and maybe (depends on the field) TSE, Oxford, and Cambridge
hmmm. UPF is very good and ahead of places like GSU which is US top 50
GSU (I guess you men Georgia State?) is not Top 50. Top 50 would be about Georgetown/Indiana/Notre Dame. GSU is more like a Top 100.
Those places are about as good as UPF so yeah... Vanderbilt should be better.
Now, UPF is great. Quality-wise maybe better than some in the Top 50 and as good as some Top 30. However, the recommendation"US Top 20 > EU Top 5 > US Top 30-50 > EU Top 6-15" takes into account your job market outcome prospects that are much better in the US.
In EU, you can end up hovering from postdoc to postdoc after graduating from places even better than UPF (e.g., EUI).
My two cents.

My two cents.This is the silly ranking that says USC > Northwestern

My two cents.That ranking is very silly. The worst of its kind. The statement above:
" Anything in US top 50 > anywhere in Europe except LSE, UCL, and maybe (depends on the field) TSE, Oxford, and Cambridge "
or
"US Top 20 > EU Top 5 > US Top 30-50 > EU Top 6-15"
is not based on particular rankings (not even US News) but on a general idea of what is consistent among most rankings.
But if you were to pick a ranking to form an idea, any other that compares US and non US institutions works, like: US News global, THE, ARWU...
But Repec won't do. Is based on registered authors, does not have backing by any institutions, and is also based on working papers downloads.

If you are from an American or from the Third World go to Vanderbilt. If you are European go to UPF
Just like:
" Anything in US top 50 > anywhere in Europe except LSE, UCL, and maybe (depends on the field) TSE, Oxford, and Cambridge "
"US Top 20 > EU Top 5 > US Top 30-50 > EU Top 6-15"This is also *a piece of sensible advice* that kinda makes part of the Hidden Curriculum and that can be further explained to give useful insights:
You can do GREAT at places like UPF or other European institutions, even Bocconi, Humbolt, Oslo or else... IF you are European...
The outliers that make you think you'd be able to get a better deal at, say CEMFI that at UVA/MSU/UIUC are Europeans... in those cases Other variables play a role in their superb outcomes...don't expect to get such outcomes if you are an American/Asian/Latinamerican/etc ...
Honestly, for say, an Italian...coming to the US for a PhD is only worthwhile if you do it at a top 10 institution...otherwise...stay at EIEF, or LUISS and leverage your local contacts...you may end up coauthoring a Top 5 with a well position European scholar you RA for.

REPEC is a good ranking. It is the closest ranking to the one you get by counting publications and impact manually for current faculty.
No we have Tilburg for that.
No. Tilburg attributes publications for institutions based on affiliation at the moment of publication. No ranking works this way. It is only used because it is favorable to Tilburg.
