Built for the Mannheim CDSE cohort. The same can be done for any alumni network — get in touch if that would be useful.
The school's own alumni list is incomplete. This dataset was rebuilt from archived pages and dissertation records, and includes nine graduates the list omits.
Built from archived GESS/CDSE alumni pages on the Internet Archive, the university's live placements page, and archived student pages — the difference between those sets is how nine graduates the school left off its own list were found. Careers and publications were assembled from RePEc, personal pages, CVs, Crossref, OpenAlex, MADOC and LinkedIn.
Publication counts are peer-reviewed journal articles, published or forthcoming. Working papers, book chapters, R&Rs and conditionally-accepted papers are excluded. Rates are not comparable across research fields.
