In case you were wondering, I joined the Ohio State faculty in 2000*

I was recently made aware of a 2012 article in Ecological Economics listing the "Most influential institutions in the field of environmental and ecological economics (2000–2009)."  Here they are:

1	University of Maryland	USA
2	Resources for the Future	USA
3	University of East Anglia	UK
4	World Bank	USA
5	National Chung Hsing University	Taiwan
6	Vrije University Amsterdam	Netherlands
7	Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)	Indonesia
8	Ohio State University	USA
9	University of California at Berkeley	USA
10	University of Leeds	UK

*The title has absolutely nothing to do with the article.  In fact, OSU's high ranking appears to be almost solely based on one article published by Dr. Elena Irwin; who also happens to be ranked as the 15th most impactful author in the field in the same article.

And was a graduate school colleague of mine. Just sayin'.

John and I are conspicuously absent from that list. 

Nevertheless, I think the ranking is highly accurate and cannot be questioned in any way.

Take that Berkeley.
