The Review of Financial Studies wrote a new blog post titled Investors' Horizons and the Amplification of Market Shocks

Momentum profits do not appear to compensate for risk or persist as a result of trading frictions. Bond momentum is not...

About:

The Review of Financial Studies is a major forum for the promotion and wide dissemination of significant new research in financial economics. As reflected by its broadly based editorial board, the Review balances theoretical and empirical contributions. The primary criteria for publishing a paper are its quality and importance to the field of finance, without undue regard to its technical difficulty. Finance is interpreted broadly to include the interface between finance and economics.

The Review is sponsored by The Society for Financial Studies. The editors of the Review and officers of the Society are elected for limited terms.
