If you add the points for economics (71) and the points for business administration in 2014 (83), the university of Cologne gains 154 points and surpasses all other german universities.

The economic-ranking of the business and financial newspaper Handelsblatt is published every second year. For that Handelsblatt regularly examines the research achievement of the faculties of economics on the basis of scientific publications of the economists in professional journals. On behalf of Handelsblatt the Institute for Business Cycle Research of ETH Zurich evaluates more than 1500 professional journals. From the rankings of the economists the institute computes the ranking lists of the best-performing faculties in research.

We congratulate all involved researchers for this excellent achievement!
