Ranking method and inclusion rules
Placement quality rankThe formal ranking is the equal-person mean percentile of matched TT destinations. No sample-size or coverage adjustment changes the order.
Reliability diagnosticsCoverage, sample size, adjusted quality, and TT attainment are shown separately and do not enter the formal placement-quality rank.
Formal eligibilityRequires dense, near-continuous annual person-level disclosure; selective lists are excluded.
Unmatched outcomesRemain visible as evidence but are never assigned a low destination rank.
Economics sourceIDEAS/RePEc is primary. Tilburg is an optional robustness comparison with aggregate entities removed when ranked member schools are also present.

School Peers

Peer similarity method
MeaningSimilarity describes named-person outcome profiles; it is not a school-quality or placement-quality rank.
Comparable scopeEconomics and Business are separate. Business uses one selected field, with Operations and Information Systems kept distinct.
Profile featuresCosine similarity over destination, sector, field, country, and region frequencies.
Search behaviorSearch filters peer results after scoring and never changes the people used to estimate a pair's similarity.
EvidenceNamed-person sample and person-level source coverage are shown separately from similarity.
