Turner College's Frank Mixon Recognized in Another Ranking of Economists

Another accolade for Turner College economist Frank Mixon appeared with the publication of a new study by Wayne Geerling and Dirk Mateer of the University of Texas and Jadrian Wooten of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University in an upcoming issue of The American Economist. In the study the authors analyze recent citation data to identify leading contributors and rising scholars in the field of economics education. The second of three ranking techniques developed by the authors ranks researchers according to an adjusted i10-index, which reflects the number of qualifying economics education articles that received at least 10 citations between 2020 and 2024. According to the authors, this metric reflects both productivity and consistent peer recognition across multiple publications, rather than relying on a single high-impact publication. It is in this particular ranking that Mixon appears, being ranked in a tie for 33rd among economics education scholars worldwide. Those also ranked 33rd with Mixon include scholars from the University of Nebraska, University of Massachusetts and Hamilton College, among others. Mixon's economics education research appears in both of the two leading journals, Journal of Economic Education and International Review of Economics Education, along with other journals in the field, such as the Journal of Economics and Finance Education, International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, Journal for Economics Educators and Advances in Economics Education. 
Last week Turner Business reported that a new study in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology indicates that Mixon is the 4th most cited researcher to have published in the journal from 2000 through 2025, and that Mixon's 2014 paper in that journal is the 9th most cited paper in that journal. A 2023 study appearing in Advances in Economics Education recognizes Mixon as the 83rd most productive business education scholar worldwide. This field covers accounting education, management education and marketing education, among others, in addition to economics education. Two 2021 studies, one appearing in The American Economist and the other in the International Journal of Social Economics, also highlight Mixon's academic work. The first of these recognizes Mixon as the 36th most productive scholar worldwide based on research appearing in the Journal of Economic Education while the latter ranks Mixon as the 20th most productive scholar worldwide based on research appearing in the International Journal of Social Economics. Similarly, a 2004 study appearing in Public Choice recognizes Mixon as the 16th most productive public choice scholar worldwide, as well as the 9th most productive new public choice scholar worldwide. Lastly, a 2003 study in the Journal of the European Economics Association ranked Mixon among the top 500 economists worldwide.
