  1. Research in Economics and Management in France: A bibliometric study using the h-index By Jean-Michel Courtault; Naïla Hayek; Eric Rimbaux; Tong Zhu

  1. By: Jean-Michel Courtault (CEPN - Centre d'Economie de l'université Paris Nord - Université Paris 13); Naïla Hayek (SAM - Statistique, Analyse, Modélisation Multidisciplinaire - Université Paris-Sorbonne - Paris IV : EA); Eric Rimbaux (LIBRE - Laboratoire interdisciplinaire bisontin de recherches économiques - Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique); Tong Zhu (LIBRE - Laboratoire interdisciplinaire bisontin de recherches économiques - Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique)
    Abstract: This paper presents an application of new measures of research excellence, namely Hirsch's index (2005) and derived indexes. It gives a ranking of French departments of Economics, departments of Management and Business schools based on the quality of the academic environment offered by these institutions using these measures. It argues that, since the bulk of the research is done by a very small number of researchers, a greater concentration of the best researchers seems necessary for France to achieve international visibility in Economics and Management.
