The links on this page send you to various sites with research related material.

Derivatives Stuff:

• Derivatives Sites (other people's sites of derivatives sites)
• Organizations Reporting Derivatives and Risk Management Losses
• Finance Journals (quick links to places to publish your research)
• Reading List (for people with the question "What do I read to learn about derivatives?")
• Term Structure and Interest Rate Derivatives Literature (a bibliography of published articles on this subject)
• Alternative Derivatives Literature (this is a collection of references to articles on derivatives that are "different" in various ways)

Miscellaneous Stuff on Doing Research and Publishing:

• On Why You Ought to Publish Your Work:
  • Joel Achenbach, "Who Knew?  Publish or Perish.  the Untold Story of Thomas Harriot, the Greatest Scientist You Never Heard Of," National Geographic (May, 2003) [I'd give you the page number but they don't seem to number many of the pages in each issue.  Also it doesn't seem to be online.]  This article is a nice piece about a scientist who made many discoveries long before they were made by those to whom we commonly attribute these discoveries.  It makes me think of the handful of papers I've done that I never followed up with and then later watched someone else publish the results.
• Tips for Publishing in Finance Academic Journals
• Articles that will make you work more carefully when doing research
  • William G. DeWald, Jerry G. Thursby, and Richard G. Anderson, "Replication in Empirical Economics:  The Journal of Money, Credit and Banking Project," The American Economic Review 76 (September, 1986), 587-603.
  • John J. Merrick,Jr., "Replication in Empirical Economics:  The Journal of Money, Credit and Banking Project:  Comment," The American Economic Review 78 (December, 1988), 1160-1161.
  • William G. DeWald, Jerry G. Thursby, and Richard G. Anderson, "Replication in Empirical Economics:  The Journal of Money, Credit and Banking Project:  Reply," The American Economic Review 78 (December, 1988), 1162-1163.
• My site on Academic Finance includes a section on getting published in academic finance journals and a section on characteristics of academic finance research.

My own research, if anybody cares:

• Articles published
• Working papers
• Research in progress

Some "off-beat" stuff:

• "A Few Good Researchers"
• An incredibly funny research cartoon about the incredibly mundane stuff most of us researchers do
• PhD Comics (some good humor for struggling graduate students and faculty as well)
• A Rejection Letter (well, not really again.)
• Articles:
  • Joshua S. Gans and George B. Shepherd, "How Are the Mighty Fallen:  Rejected Classic Articles by Leading Economists," Journal of Economic Perspectives 8 (Winter, 1994), 165-179.
  • Linda Robinson Walker, "Empirical Tests of Famous Sayings," USAir Magazine (September, 1982), 64-68.
  • Adelle Rosenzweig, "The Random Walk Hypothesis, Domestic Borrowing, and Others:  A Glossary of Contemporary Financial Terms," The Journal of Finance 28 (1973), 1371-1372.  [Can you believe it?  A funny article in the JOF]
  • John Siegfried, "A First Lesson in Econometrics," The Journal of Political Economy 78 (November/December, 1970), 1378-1379.  [Some humor in the JPE]
  • Daniel S. Hamermesh, "The Young Economist's Guide to Professional Etiquette," Journal of Economic Perspectives 6 (Winter, 1992), 169-179.
