Abstract: This paper considers the research productivity of New Zealand based economics departments from 2000 to 2006. It examines journal based research output across departments and individuals using six output measures. We show that the faculty at Otago and Canterbury as of April 2007 performed consistently well over the period, with Otago generally the highest ranked department. The output measures used place different emphasis on 'quality' versus 'quantity'. Which measure is used has a significant influence on the rankings of Auckland, Victoria and Waikato. The inclusion of 'visitors' and the influence of research stars are also considered.
