In addition to teaching at Stern, my present affiliations include: Advisory Editor of the Journal of Financial Markets; Associate Editor of the Journal of Financial Econometrics; Fellow of the Society of Financial Econometrics; Fellow of the Columbia Law School Program in the Law and Economics of Capital Markets.
