Six years and >3,500 decision letters later (with some more to come in the next months), today is my last day as editor of the Journal of Finance. (1/n)

Forthcoming soon: Doerr @BIS_org, Gissler @federalreserve, @persistdebt @ImperialBiz @UPFBarcelona, @joachim_voth @econ_uzh find that Nazi votes surged more, pogroms & deportations more common, in locations more affected by German bank failures in 1931.

Forthcoming soon: Goldstein @Wharton and Yang @rotmanschool show that commodity financialization improves price efficiency in early stages, but in later stages it decreases it. The decrease hurts producer profits, but they benefit from better risk sharing.

Forthcoming soon: Friewald @NHHnor, Nagler @Unibocconi, Wagner @wu_vienna find that equity returns are increasing in short-term, but not long-term leverage. Similar relationships in a model of rollover risk with endogenous leverage and maturity choice

Forthcoming soon: AFA presidential address by John Graham @DukeFuqua. CFO surveys show that corporate decision rules are conservative, sticky, geared to time the market; internal forecasts are miscalibrated; consistent with models of satisficing or biases.

Forthcoming soon: @hofffl @FEBkuleuven, Inderst @goetheuni, Opp @handels_sse show that compensation deferral requirements robustly enhance risk-management effort only if reqs. are not too stringent and bank managers' outside option is sufficiently high.

Forthcoming soon: @sc_cath @Wharton, Chaney @sciencespo, @congerhuang @cuhksz, @DSraer @BerkeleyHaas, @dthesmar @MITSloan use a dynamic investment model to quantify the aggregate effects of collateral constraints: they reduce output by 7.1% and TFP by 1.4%

Forthcoming soon: Wang @Cornerstone_Res, @toniwhited @MichiganRoss, Yufeng Wu @giesbusiness, @kairong_xiao @Columbia_Biz estimate a dynamic banking model with capital and reserve regulation: Bank market power explains much of monetary policy transmission

Forthcoming soon: Schneider @federalreserve finds that heterogeneity in elasticities of intertemporal substitution is important to explain dynamics of nominal and real yields with a GE model. The nominal term structure is driven primarily by real shocks.

Forthcoming soon: Chang NTU, Hsiao NTU, Ljungqvist @SHouseofFinance, Tseng NTU use staggered implementation of EDGAR to study asset pricing effects of disagreement. EDGAR inclusion resolves disagreement, leads to stock price correction, reduces crash risk.

Forthcoming soon: Bennedsen @INSEAD @uni_copenhagen, Simintzi @kenanflagler, @M_Tsoutsoura @CornellMBA, Wolfenzon @Columbia_Biz find that pay transparency in Denmark reduced gender pay gap, slowed wage growth for males, but left firm profits unaffected.

Forthcoming soon: @AlexChinco @Baruch_Zicklin @SamHartzmark @abbysussman @ChicagoBooth find that participants in survey experiments respond to mean and volatility of returns consistent with standard models, but not to correlation with consumption growth.
