“…Although researchers designing citation indices routinely warn us that these indices are designed to measure influence rather than quality, 1,2 this does not stop administrators and funding agencies from using these indices as proxies for quality. 3 Even prominent economists cannot resist the convenience 1 For previous studies on citation indices, see, for example, Garfield (1972), Pinski and Narin (1976), Liebowitz and Palmer (1984), Stigler et al (1995), Palacios-Huerta and Volij (2004), Ellison (2013), Chambers and Miller (2014), Demange (2014), Perry and Reny (2016), and Macé (2018). See also Angrist et al (2017) and Hamermesh (2018) for recent empirical studies on citations in economics.…”
