March 19, 2009
Cheng-Few Lee , professor of Finance and Economics, was ranked number one as the most prolific author in finance out of 983 authors in a paper entitled Most Prolific Authors in the Finance Literature: 1959-2008 by Jean L. Heck and Philip L. Cooley of Saint Joseph’s University and Trinity University. According to the paper, “These authors demonstrate great durability in navigating the vagaries of referees and the demands of editors. They represent a small minority of thousands of authors during the period 1959 to 2008.” The findings in this paper were meant to both satisfy a natural curiosity of who the most prolific authors were and also to help in the formation of realistic expectations about scholarly work.Professor Lee has published more than 170 articles in journals including the Journal of Finance, JFQA, Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, Review of Economics and Statistics, and Management Science. Lee has written six books on corporate finance, portfolio management, business statistics and urban econometrics.Rutgers Business School applauds Professor Lee’s ongoing work and contributions to the most reputable journals in finance. Lee’s number one ranking reflects his hard work, leadership and commitment to research here at Rutgers Business School, the only school delivering the business, science, and technology credentials that global employers demand.
