Score contribution per author:
α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
In this paper we provide a statistical analysis of authorship in Public Choice over the past 30 years. We explore trends in article length and coauthorship, as well as provide rankings of individual authors and institutions by total pages published in the journal. This is the first such ranking of publications in the journal since 1987. We find a significant degree of turnover among the leading authors in Public Choice, and that George Mason University is clearly the leading institution making a large share of the new contributions in the field.
