Posted by Todd Zywicki: SSRN Top 50 Authors: SSRN has just posted the list of the top 50 Law Authors as measured by downloads, and yours truly has eecked onto the list, along with a couple of co-conspirators. A list of my personal papers can be found [1]here.
As one of my colleagues recently confessed, "I'm not sure that numbers like this tell us much, but I do love my downloads." We list below the Top 50 Law Authors measured by downloads of all of their papers in the SSRN eLibrary in the last 12 months through March 1, 2005. On our web site, we provide 5 other measures for each author, including lifetime downloads, number of papers, and downloads per paper. To view the full list (which can be dynamically resorted on any of the 6 ranking measures) go to: TOP 50 AUTHORS IN SSRN's TOP 1,000 AUTHOR LIST (BETA) 1 Bebchuk, Lucian 2 Lemley, Mark 3 Black, Bernard 4 Bainbridge, Stephen 5 Sunstein, Cass 6 Parisi, Francesco 7 Solum, Lawrence 8 Coffee Jr. ,John 9 Landes, William 10 Kerr, Orin 11 Gilson, Ronald 12 Stout, Lynn 13 Fried, Jesse 14 Posner, Eric 15 Wu, Tim 16 Blair, Margaret 17 Kraakman, Reinier 18 Bratton, William 19 Hopt, Klaus 20 Ferrell, Allen 21 Romano, Roberta 22 Cheffins, Brian 23 Ryan, Patrick 24 Choi, Stephen 25 Barnett, Randy 26 Roe, Mark 27 Leiter, Brian 28 Shavell, Steven 29 Jinks, Derek 30 Korobkin, Russell 31 Posner, Richard 32 Yu, Peter 33 McCahery, Joseph 34 Wagner Polk 35 Thomas, Randall 36 Cunningham, Lawrence 37 Leyens, Patrick 38 Ribstein, Larry 39 Schooner, Steven 40 Yoo, John 41 Solove, Daniel 42 Klausner, Michael 43 Gulati, G.
