NBER: Sad News - Bruce Lehmann
Dear Asset Pricing Program Members -
I am very sorry to share the news that long-time NBER Research Associate
Bruce Lehmann passed away yesterday. Bruce received his undergraduate
degree in economics and history from Washington University, and his
Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago. He was a professor
of economics and finance at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at
the University of California - San Diego; he previously taught at the
Graduate School of Business at Columbia.
Bruce was an expert in asset pricing and market microstructure who made
significant contributions to the empirical testing of asset market
models, the determinants of short-run stock price movements, and the
implications of market institutions for security market performance. He
directed the NBER Working Group on Market Microstructure for more than a
decade. Bruce was an Olin Fellow at the NBER in the mid-1980s; he was
also a Batterymarch Fellow and a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Bruce was an active and engaging scholar, and he will be deeply missed.
