The 2018 results are now up.
I hadn't realised how small Canterbury's econ group now was relative to the econ contingents at the other universities - at 10 FTE, they're now the smallest economics group in the country. Note that the measure doesn't count R ranked staff as those staff would not draw PBRF funding; I doubt including Rs would change that since there are only 10 in econ at Canty.
It's a good group - only Waikato seems to have a stronger research ranking, per capita, on an eyeball metric. So kudos!
Update: that eyeball metric is wrong. Waikato is top with 85% A or B-ranked. Otago's next with 73% so-ranked. Canterbury's very slightly behind on 70%. Everyone else is miles behind that.
I keep remembering an economics department of about 16-18 people from 2007. I miss that place.
