Pleasant Post. This record helped me in my college assignment. Thnaks Alot
This ranking is a total joke. The employer and academic reputational scores are flawed (very flawed). I am canadian and I can assure you that Mcgill's Economics department is not even in the top 5 in the country. It is considered a very weak department by many. How the hell does it rank 18th in the World??? It is insane to rank a school so high. The real problem is with the employer ranking. For instance why does Princeton have an employer reputation score of 35??? Princeton Economics is very prestigious. I simply have no idea what is going on. This ranking needs to be terminated ASAP. It is doing more harm than good.
