Шнобель 2012 аж у трех Россиян, в том числе и по физике

Ученый Руслан Кречетников из Университета Санта-Барбары получил премию по физике совместно с американцем Хансом Майером за так называемую "теорию проливания" - исследование в области физики жидкостей о человеке, идущем с чашкой кофе в руке.

Шнобель мира - у челябинцев, а Шнобель по психологии у россиянина с таким русским именем как Тулио Гуаделупе.

What's Hot in Finance? (2007-2011) by Utpal Bhattacharya

What's Hot in Finance? (2007-2011) by Utpal Bhattacharya

As in years past, to catalyze the students in my Ph.D. F798 class to think of finance ideas, I asked each one of them to read the abstracts of finance articles published in the last 5 years in JF, JFE, RFS and JFQA. Their report is attached. Here are some general observations from the hard data above and the soft data generated from classroom discussions:

1. Classification into sub-topics is even more difficult than last year. There are more papers published which are not only inter-topic, but also inter-disciplinary. Finance is very driven by the issues of the day. Issues do not fit in neat silos.


2. Though empirical papers dominate, theoretical papers or theoretical papers with empirical tests have trended up slightly.


3. Though empirical corporate remains the most popular field, its popularity is not rising. Asset pricing papers and particularly papers in investments (mutual funds and hedge funds) are trending up.


4. Finance journals dominate. Amongst finance journals, RFS has climbed steadily to become no 1 and it remains there.


5. Top non-finance journals publish many finance papers (on an average 15%-20%). Curiously, with the notable exception of QJE, all the other top economic journals have seen dramatic drops in cite counts.
