"Some unfortunate news from the USPTO - it looks like the agency will be forced to terminate the PatentsView contract, so all the datasets and disambiguation currently available at patentsview.org will likely go offline on March 28."

Very excited to join @JCorpFin star team of editors and AEs! Looking forward to contributing to the journal and the field!
The two-hub format worked too: papers and discussants alternated from each side, so each paper had a "representative" on both hubs, allowing for engaging in-person conversations while at the same time minimizing travel. Happy to share experiences with other conference organizers on this model!
HEC Paris and HKUST just held the second two-hub conference on sustainable finance, bringing researchers from Europe and Asia to share their latest research and ideas. Great 10 papers and discussants: sites.google.com/view/hec-hku... !
Looking forward to the holiday meeting of the Lithuanian academic economics family on Monday!
