If the second paper was done in a hurry, how did the guy "hand collect" data on whether the analysts had children
WK Li from SMU plagiarized a JMP – BEST SCANDAL of the year
-
The PhD student posted hers on ssrn on 12/3/20. The paper by wk Li and bw was posted 6/10/21. Can they really claim they didn’t know about the other paper and doesn’t that show negligence at the very least?
Quite decent ideas that anyone working on analyst stuffs can come up with with the Covid shock. I guess they will end up as competing papers.
-
Takeaway: students shouldn't work on straightforward ideas unless they are coauthoring with big shots. When you regress well-known measures on the COVID shock, you should realize there is a big chance others are doing the same. This profession is getting crowded.

This is a solid piece of advice and is pragmatic. But it is kind pathetic. The senior people in this profession should do their job of maintaining a better community. Who knows. maybe they themselves are the problem, setting terrible examples for the junior.
-
on a closer read of the CVs of these three scholars, it seems more convincing that the PhD student develops the idea earlier and by herself. The junior faculty actually have some empirical papers using information on financial analysts. Yet, their paper was listed on the working paper database much later. With all the experience, expertise, and manpower they could assemble, it does not make much sense that they developed the idea independently and ahead of the PhD student.

I hope this serves as a warning call to all those sneaky people who steal ideas from younger, less powerful people. You can steal them, but you will be exposed on ejmr and your reputation will go down the drain. Everyone from different countries will remember you as the plаgirisеr.

I am not optimistic about this reputation effect. I do not think they care, and neither do they similarly sneaky friends. In fact, our sympathy may unintendedly affect the PhD student's career. Hopefully, the European community in finance is less affected by those in Asia and US.

The posting date of wk and kl is June 2021. The student paper came in October 2020.

Baolian Wang has been stealing others' ideas for a long time.
Baolian Wang is very sneaky and is active in stealing others’ ideas
Really? I read his joint works with Nick Barberis. Those prospect theory papers are very solid.
Baolian Wang’s papers with NB are not solid and are results of data mining. If you change the specifications only a little bit, the results are gone. With NB, Baolian Wang never had the chance to publish these low-quality papers.

I believe some insiders know more details. Otherwise, who care about these low-quality papers. I am looking forward to the inside information on this cheating case

Isn't mianzi very important in Chinese culture?
