Well, not just finance bias but bias towards weak profiles in finance. WX? is this a joke? Out for 8 years (since 2013) and only a couple of field journal publications with senior faculty who's well known in that area. The pipeline also includes very narrow financy paper. This profile would have never got tenure at any top 20-30 econ department (and perhaps any top 20-30 finance department) after 8 years. How can this be the profile of a young leader of the whole economics profession worldwide?
Yet Booth decided to make her an AP offer and promoted her to associate after only 1 year. And the Sloan committee decided to award her a fellowship. Maybe that tells you that you should actually read her papers?

Hahaha, my friend, I not only read her papers but also refereed some of them at top Econ journals, where they were unanimously rejected by all 4 referees! Why do you think I was so harsh in my comments? Instead, I invite you to read those papers and look for yourself how much of a joke this is

Booth Finance these days hires any woman out there. Kashyap first hired her and then called his coauthor Judy to give her the prize. It’s a Harvard prize anyways. Why else would you give it to Schoefer who nobody knows and he himself doesn’t know which field he belongs to. Schreger also doesn’t add much to human knowledge and Dmitry... let me not even get started.
Can't wait for Neilson to tweet about this award despite his "URM struggle in America" while sitting on a pile of data and connections through his dad in the Chilean government. A true "scientist".
Wow, I had no idea that his dad also sits on the board of the New Haven School district, is a minister in the Dominican Republic and of Peru. Really incredible what one family connection can deliver.
Great names without exception.
Statistically, one of them will win the Clark Medal.
Nice to see that the economists that ends up doing great research in their careers as faculty may not initially be on the RESTUD TOUR.
With so many great economists out there, the prize committee has a tough job. False negatives exist ; but there are never false positives, looking at previous years.
