Michigan Ross Finance Job Market Candidates

Because he's AP's RA. Have you looked at the rest of his research papers? I do not really want to pick on juniors, let alone somebody so young and new to the profession. Advisors at these schools though should stop using PhDs as their private RAs with the promise of pushing them on the market. They either impose a big negative externality on us all or create delusional job market candidates. Either way, this behavior is very unprofessional and should be condemned by the profession.
Pet RA with an MBA-level JMP and over-hyped letters.
The letter by AP is very positive

Second this. Such cases are quite obvious to spot if the candidate has several papers coauthored with the same senior who's their main advisor. In these situations I'm mostly sorry for the candidate, who most likely is unaware of how the profession works and what signals are positive or negative. Helping them do well rather than exploiting them for personal benefit is their advisors' job. Sadly, some advisors are cynical enough to exploit students in such a bad way

This is win-win. If you want to see "exploit", you just need to look next door to the economics department. RAs never get added to papers.
