What the paper says

We analyze recent citation data to identify leading contributors and rising scholars in the field of economics education. Using a curated list of journals endorsed by the American Economic Association’s Committee on Economic Education, we construct a focused i10 index based on citations received between 2020 and 2024. This metric emphasizes sustained influence across multiple papers and avoids distortions caused by singly highly cited articles. Our results include rankings of top-cited scholars overall, high performers by i10 index, impactful early- and mid-career scholars, and leading researchers outside of North America. Additionally, we also identify the ten most cited articles during our sample period to highlight topics resonating with current researchers. In doing so, we document the breadth of contemporary economics pedagogy research and recognize the evolving institutional professional roles of those contributing to its growth.
