Public Influence
According to a poll conducted jointly by the Financial Times Deutschland and the Verein für Socialpolitik (the German economics association) among 550 German economics experts in 2006, “only two representatives of our profession exert an appreciable influence on policymaking: Bert Rürup and Hans-Werner Sinn”. A study in 2007 placed Sinn, in terms of number of citations in scientific journals, second to German Nobel laureate Reinhard Selten. The British newspaper The Independent named Sinn among the ten most important people who changed the world in 2011. The German Business weekly WirtschaftsWoche ranked Sinn 62 among the 100 most powerful people in Germany, and placed him in the No. 1 position among the “Most Important Economists” in the country. In 2012 he was included in the 50 Most Influential list of Bloomberg Markets Magazine.
