Words from the Director

Headshot of Bo Becker
In finance, three journals are considered the first tier, and a few more also count as very good. Placing research in these outlets is demanding, with a high risk of failure, but the reward is great: precisely because these journals are so selective, publishing there is a strong badge of quality. In 2025, faculty at SHoF’s academic partners published a record 13 articles in the top three journals, and another five in the next tier. This is truly remarkable productivity, and some of this outstanding work is featured below
