The ranking names 100 important German economists; just like last year Edenhofer is number 12. This is even more remarkable since climate economics are still considered by many to be a side aspect. Interestingly, in the core category of scientific quotations Edenhofer overtook researchers such as Michael Hüther from Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft, who is better known in the broader public due to his strong presence in the media and therefore reached a higher overall score.

Professor Clemens Fuest from ifo institute Munich, an expert in fiscal and economic policy, is number 2. Number 3 is Marcel Fratzscher from DIW Berlin who does Macroeconomics, international finance and monetary economics.
