Simple partisanship ratios don't tell the whole story though, you would need to weight by reaearch funding and also academic reach measured by h-index or something similar, it's just a super weak argument you've made

You're moving the goalpost when you start discussing policy impact and think tanks. This discussion is about the political views in academia. I don't know of any relevant data about the funding and political split in the economics think tank world.
Matt made an observation about perceptions of economics as conservative. My point is that this perception is due to the relative influence of partisan economists on policy/the world, which is harder to measure than using a simple partisan ratio

The argument I'm making stated in a sentence is that popular perceptions of economics are rooted in the actual influence of economists on real world outcomes, a simple partisanship census of university economists doesn't capture this whatsoever
