Here, covering schools ranked by US News in the low 20s to 100. Since it's the boring dog days of summer, and Inspired by Professor Crawford, here's how the US News "top 15" ranks according to gross SSRN downloads. The next column reports the number of authors listed on SSRN, excluding those who had no downloads in the last year. Per capita is the total downloads in the last year divided by the number of authors. The last two columns are self-explanatory. I have not corrected for prospective moves (Sunstein is in government service [but on leave from Harvard], Black & Litvak are going from Texas to Northwestern, Fried is going from Berkeley to Harvard, Triantis is still listed with UVA, though he is now full-time at Harvard, etc.).
