This paper ranks higher education in Korea based upon research productivity in business and economics disciplines. The number of SCI-level journal articles are tabulated using the Web of Science search engine, over the sample period from 1990 to 2016. The league table shows that many private universities dominate top-tier ranks, which is consistent with the school reputations most commonly cited by the general public in Korea. In contrast, many national universities appear in the second-tier, and their scanty performance in business and economics is in sharp contrast with our earlier findings in which national universities performed well in science and engineering fields (Jin and Kim, 2018). In addition, the ranking order in lower-ranked schools is found to be sensitive to a small change in publications, whereas the publication gap among top-tier schools is relatively large. Finally, unlike our general perception, the size of school does not matter for collaborative research. Some policy implications are discussed as a conclusion.

商业和经济学研究生产率：韩国，1990-2016年

本文根据商业和经济学学科的研究生产力对韩国的高等教育进行排名。在1990年至2016年的样本期内，使用Web of Science搜索引擎将SCI级期刊文章的数量制成表格。排行榜显示，许多私立大学主导着顶级大学的排名，这与最常见的学校声誉是一致的被韩国公众引用。相比之下，许多国立大学排在第二层，它们在商业和经济学上的薄弱表现与我们之前的发现形成鲜明对比，在国立大学中，国立大学在科学和工程领域表现良好（Jin and Kim，2018）。此外，发现排名较低的学校的排名顺序对出版物的细微变化敏感，而顶级学校之间的出版差距相对较大。最后，与我们的普遍看法不同，学校规模对于协作研究并不重要。作为结论讨论了一些政策含义。
