RE: News from the NBER Asset Pricing Program
Dear members of the NBER Asset Pricing Program:
We are writing with several updates about the NBER Asset Pricing Program.
/New members/
Please join us in welcoming to the Asset Pricing group four new members:
Winston Dou and Jesse Schreger will join the AP group as Faculty
Research Fellows this year, and Lin William Cong and Lars Lochstoer will
join as Research Associates. We very much look forward to the
intellectual contributions each will bring in the coming years.
/Upcoming meetings: /
Please mark your calendars for next academic year’s upcoming meetings.
The 2022 Fall Asset Pricing meeting will be held in San Francisco on
October 28th. The papers for this meeting will be chosen by Anna Cieslak
and Valentin Haddad. The 2022 Spring Asset Pricing meeting will be held
in Chicago on April 24th. The papers for this meeting will be chosen by
Wenxin Du and Adrien Verdelhan. We look forward to seeing you in San
Francisco and Chicago for the in-person meetings.
/Panel Discussions/
During the Fall and Spring meetings, we have continued the panel
discussions that we started in 2019. During the 2021 Fall meeting, the
panel focused on “Central Bank Digital Currencies: Challenges and
Opportunities,” (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy8VrMpRO7k) and the
panel during the 2022 Spring meeting focused on “Investor Psychology.”
We plan to continue these panel discussions in future meetings. We ask
the panelists for their broad perspective on the topic at hand, rather
than hearing about a particular paper. Our objective is to take stock of
what we know and what the key questions are going forward as viewed from
different fields. The goal is to identify the contours of a research
agenda and find connections between asset pricing and some of the
defining economic questions of our time.
We very much welcome your suggestions in terms of topics and/or
panelists for future meetings.
As always, if you have other suggestions or feedback to make the NBER
Asset Pricing Program more impactful, please reach out us. We look
forward to seeing you at the Summer Institute and, hopefully, in person
at the Fall meeting.
All our best,
Ralph and Sydney
