According to them, standardisation methods using the number of staff or university graduates may have a crucial impact on results, especially when the weighting methods used are not sufficiently selective. Different methods to prepare the database also have considerable influence on the data quality and results. Rankings based on a variety of methods for weighting the quality are frequently highly correlated with each other, but they supply quite different placements for institutes.","onlinedate":"2007-01-16 01:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20070101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"24","keywords":"[\"Rankings Publikationst\u00e4tigkeit empirische Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":326395,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"287","journal":"WIFO Working Papers","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":null,"types":[44410],"research_groups":[3481],"collaboration":"","persons":[3621,3647],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3621,\"personName\":\"Peter Huber\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3647,\"personName\":\"Angelina Keil\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","citations":"{\"apa\":\"<div class=\\\"rendering rendering_researchoutput  rendering_researchoutput_apa rendering_contributiontoperiodical rendering_apa rendering_contributiontoperiodical_apa\\\"><span>Huber, P.<\\\/span><span>, &amp; Keil, A.<\\\/span> (2007). <span>Ach wie gut, dass niemand wei\u00df ...?
