Excellent harvest for Household Finance specialist Professor Kim Peijnenburg!
Kim Peijnenburg who joined EDHEC Business School in September 2018 as Professor of Finance has recently published three papers in leading journals, the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (October 2018), Review of Financial Studies (forthcoming), co-authored with Gianpaolo Parise (EDHEC), and the Journal of Financial Economics (forthcoming) co-authored with Alexander Eisele, Tamara Nefedova and Gianpaolo Parise .
