Here is an interesting article by David Deming, a professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School
His idea is that despite Economics becoming more empirical, it is becoming insular and status-obsessed, heavily concentrating in just eight elite universities: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, the University of Chicago, Columbia, and Berkeley. Meanwhile, other sciences, such as chemistry and engineering, are far more widespread across different institutions in different parts of the world.
He then provides several reasons for the current situation, such as funding being one of the major problems in smaller universities.
Please give it a read, when you'll have some free time.
