   As an aspiring asset pricer, I hope you're wrong, but I'm curious as to why you think so?

   My opinion is that asset pricing and macro-finance are basically blurring together, so when I say asset pricing, I mean those fields combined.

   The main problem is the asset pricing theory. The theory has no empirical support. Reasonably successful empirical models are essentially data mining and pattern recognition. Yes, asset pricing is a dead field now.

   corporate finance theory is more dead than asset pricing. so currently what we have is:
   finance=empirical corporate finance. what a dark future for finance academia, full of boring regression monkeys.

    High IQ macro finance people are gradually going to take finance departments back from the regress cash holdings on corporate governance index trolls.

    These are finance PhDs who are interested in macro, not macro bros interested in finance (for the most part).

    I think this is true, at least for junior people. Some senior people may be able to publish but it's really hard for juniors to publish AP papers. Naturally, less and less people will do AP and the the field will shrink and become dead.

    Hansen, Singleton, Cochrane all work in b-schools.

    So I revise my statement: b-school economists.
