Professor Giannetti has been serving as associate editor of several journals, including the Review of Financial Studies, the Review of Finance, Financial Management and the Journal of Banking and Finance, and is a director of the European Finance Association. She has been honored as a rising star in finance in 2016 and has received numerous research awards including the Assar Lindbeck Medal, the Journal of Financial Intermediation best paper award, the European Central Bank Lamfalussy Research Fellowship, and the Stockholm School of Economics Annual Research award.
