| Tiivistelmä: | RAE ratings have been criticized as biased in favor of universities which are old, located in England, large and represented on the assessment panel. This research paper examines these accusations for the 1996 and 2001 RAE ratings of economics departments using independent rankings from the academic literature as quality controls. RAE ratings are found to be largely in agreement with the professions view of research quality as documented by independent rankings, although the latter appear to me more focused on research quality at the top end of academic achievement. Accusations of bias find no support in the data, with the exception of panel membership in 1996. |
