Just some personal complaint: I feel society today rewards vertical content so much. I'm not just talking about social media; even the job market values people who focus on just one thing. This is bad for me because I literally love to try out everything. And probably it's also bad for innovation? Often, innovation is achieved by combining ideas from different fields.

@SunYongKim1 @FordhamNYC @FordhamGSB Congratulations!!!

I’m excited to share that I will be moving to New York City to join @FordhamNYC as a tenure-track faculty in Finance at the @FordhamGSB. It's been a tough 3 years in the academic wilderness post-PhD, so I’m deeply grateful to my PhD advisors for sticking with me when they didn't have to, in particular @DimitrisPapan20 and @ProfJiang and Winston Dou. I very much look forward to this next chapter in NYC. #Fordham #Finance #MacroFinance #AssetPricing #NYC #AcademicLife

A QJE paper finds the labor market increasingly rewards social skills. Between 1980 and 2013, the jobs requiring high social interaction gre by ~13 percentage points as a share of US labor. Math-intensive less social jobs fell by 3.3 percentage points: academic.oup.com/qje/article/13…
