Faculty Crack the Code to the World’s Most Selective Finance Journals

Kenneth Ayotte

Berkeley Law ranks No. 2 among law schools for faculty publishing in the world’s three most selective peer-reviewed finance journals — the Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, and Review of Financial Studies — in a report by University of Southern California Gould School of Law Professor Michael Simkovic. Noting that those journals reject roughly 94% of submissions, the report shows a collective nine publications from Berkeley Law Professors Kenneth Ayotte (pictured), Andrew C. Baker, Dhammika Dharmapala, Ofer Eldar, Frank Partnoy, and Steven Davidoff Solomon.
