Top 20 most productive departments of the top 100 national liberal arts colleges

So Bucknell is on that list, according to Chen Qian, Steven B. Caudill and Franklin G. Mixon, Jr. (2016) “Engaged in teaching, and scholarship too: economics faculty productivity at national liberal arts colleges,” International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, 7, 360-372 (subscription required).

Not sure how useful this kind of data is. Very much like the data on journal rankings discussed before, this should be taken with a grain of salt. But the schools with heterodox, or pluralist departments do relatively well, I think.
