[URPE] Heterodox Economics Newsletter 56

Heterodox Economics Newsletter

Issue 56: January 30, 2008 <http://l.web.umkc.edu/leefs/htn56.htm> 

 

>From the Editor 

I do not have much to report for this Newsletter. There are a large number of heterodox seminars taking place and there are new calls for papers-heterodox activities continue at an increasing pace. I would like to point out that in the FYI section there is a letter to the heterodox community regarding benchmarking in economics in the UK. If you think benchmarking is an important issue, then you might want to look at the letter. Finally, like a bad penny, ranking of journals seems to show up where we least expect it. In this case, in a recent report on the economics department at UMKC carried out by the University, it commented that the economics department does not published in top ranked journals and this is a cause for concern. The report was referring to the rankings for mainstream journals, but because there is no published ranking of heterodox journals, the department's response that its faculty publishes in highly ranked heterodox journals is less than convincing.
