Who is Rabih?
No, the JF paper is the one he referred me to read and is fully vetted by Rabih Via 100 pages of tests. It was another paper that he was presenting in our department. He argued something flat out wrong about ETFs As part of his argument. Everyone was just frozen for a sec on how he acted out.
You mean the JF paper? What was the issue?
Zahi Ben-david. A total D IMO.
Presented an ETF paper few years ago without having a basic clue of how ETFs actually work. Pointed out the issue with him paper and his response was "I have another paper on ETFs and you should read it" to which I responded "I have read that but have you read mine". Lost his temper like a 10 yo.

That’s another JF classic.

Not sure, I have moved to industry for a while now and only follow papers that have anything for us to learn. With ETF papers, academics tend to get the logic backward.
The funniest example is a random dude's JMP that claims hedge funds create syntethic shorts via ETFs. It is a running joke around our office:
A: Good morning, are we doing any syntethic shorts today?
B: Not sure about that! but we need to arb ****.That’s another JF classic.

DP
If you avoid him won’t let you in at the JF. Another classic JF story, unlimited term for AEs. Hello no term limits-> corruption.
I avoid submitting to JF for exactly this reason. It's the same as the QJE. Nice to have on your CV, but tainted by ridiculous corruption.

Example: any JC and cliff crew paper. You read it and do the exact opposite. Do it right, it works like rubbing their vault everyday. But remember, those strategies are stale when they are published in a paper, so you have to use it only to infer the thinking and arb their portfolio going forward.

People like DP are Associate Editors for life. Just think about the basic governance structure: AEs remain anonymous and they have no term limit.

wouldn’t mind having DP on CV
