Dear Asset Pricing and Corporate Finance Program Members -

I am very sorry to convey the news that Rick Green, a Research Associate
in the NBER's Asset Pricing Program, passed away last Friday. Rick was
a Professor of Financial Economics and the holder of the Richard M. and
Margaret S. Cyert Chair at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie
Mellon University. He was an active research contributor with
wide-ranging interests in both asset pricing and corporate finance. He
was also a leader in the profession, having serving as Editor of the
Journal of Finance (2000-2003), and as president of the American Finance
Association (2006), the Society for Financial Studies (2012-2014), and
the Western Finance Association (1999). Rick also served a term as the
American Finance Association's representative on the NBER Board of
Directors (2003-2006).

Rick was an undergraduate at Pomona College, and he received his Ph.D.
in finance from the University of Wisconsin. He joined the faculty of
the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon in
1982 and remained there throughout his career. In addition to his many
external leadership roles, he also served as Senior Associate Dean for
Faculty and Research.

Rick played a key part in advancing the field of financial economics and
in supporting the NBER, and he will be deeply missed.
