Excited to share that our new paper (with Linyi Zhang) is now published in Management Science: "Unleashing the Crowd: The Effect of Social Networks in #Crowdfunding Markets." #SocialNetworks increase project visibility, disseminate information, and shape capital allocation.
Key findings:
• Investors 50% more likely to fund projects peers support
• 11% more likely to fund projects from regions with strong social ties
• Effects amplified on platforms prioritizing transparency
• Social networks help mitigate negative impacts of disasters on funding
🚀 Excited to share my research (with Siew Hong Teoh, Yakun Wang, and Jiawen Yan) showcased in @chicagoboothrev. We apply social psychology and #AI techniques to study the importance of first impressions about financial analysts chicagobooth.edu/review/imag…
Key insights:
1. Analysts’ perceived trustworthiness and dominance positively linked to forecast accuracy.
2. Perceptions of dominance improves male analysts’ career outcomes, but substantially hurts female analysts’ career outcomes. Full paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We received 150 submissions: so many interesting papers! It is truly inspiring to witness many brilliant minds delving into the implications of AI in finance.
📚 A must-read for anyone interested in social learning and information cascades! In this comprehensive review, leading scholars cover crucial theoretical developments of the past 30 years, offering a thought-provoking look at the field's foundations and frontiers. 🌟💡
Super insightful and very timely review by leading scholars in social media and finance, highly recommend!
I'm excited to release a public draft of a review article (with @marinaniessner and @w_mullins_ ) of research on social media and finance.

The organizing principle is to distinguish "social media as a lens" versus "social media, the phenomenon."
Truly humbled and honored by the recognition. Grateful to AACSB and Baruch for valuing innovation in research and teaching. Proud to work with my colleagues at Zicklin, shaping future leaders.
👏⭐️Congrats to @Baruch_Zicklin Prof. @LinPengFin on being named a "2024 Influential Leader" by @AACSB!

It is super sad to see visionary figures pass. But I am happy the community is celebrating all of the contributions Mike Jensen made to academic finance. He founded the JFE and made it WORK.
Gene Fama has written a great piece here:
