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: promarket.org/2024/04/04/mic…

I held a small presentation at @SAFE_Frankfurt for PhD students on how to do research, inspired by all the links I collected on my website (sites.google.com/view/claesb…). I think it was appreciated, so I thought I should promote all the great guides out there one more time.
