Peter Carr was a co-author of mine and also a dear friend of mine for nearly 30 years. He will be greatly missed. RIP Peter -- and thank you.

why do real scholars like fischer black, stephen ross, and peter carr die at an early age while these corrupted reg monkeys seem to stick around forever?
Wisdom 3:2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery, 3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace. 4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality. 5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
In quant finance its known as optimal stoping time. Peak expected value, protection from downside future errors while making good on long lived positives. Not saying this is a general theory, but can fit some cases.

Why would you say that about Kose John? What a nasty thing to say. You are gross.

I knew Peter Carr for decades. I am sad that he passed away. However the fact is: Peter Carr was neither an idol scholar nor a successful industry practitioner. He was successful in coauthoring a large number of papers in equity linked derivatives pricing, but in almost all of them, he had the least amount of contribution among the authors. His tenure was denied at Cornell. He moved to industry and he was a absolutely train wrack disaster in Bank of America Securities and later in Morgan Stanley. I am sorry but these are the facts. As a person, he was significantly creepy and cheap. I understand this is not a nice obituary, but these are the facts.

Then you never knew Peter. I co-authored with him. Everything you say is a lie.

What's a train 'wrack'?
I think you are creepy even if what you say is factually correct.

So what really happened to Peter ? I know he had failed tenure at Cornell and had unsuccessful tenures at Banc of America and Morgan Stanley ( twice), though Bloomberg seemed to have been happy with him and I am sure his reputation, whether deserved or not, helped the cash register ring at the FE program at Columbia. When I had met him a few times, he seemed to be a nice enough guy at a personal level. So, I don't really understand some of the graceless comments, especially towards someone who is no longer around to defend himself.
