Professor Jonathan Haidt shares his views on freedom of speech and intellectual diversity on college campuses

Bloomberg logo
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Any campus is a really interesting social environment where there are multiple moralities, multiple communities competing with each other and drawing recruits. And what we're seeing in the last few years... is the rise of a particular sub-group that is extremely passionate morally about equality, about fighting racism, and that's all great. But they've adopted a way that is kind of vindictive, that is all about calling people out. So people are afraid of them."

An acquisition of Snapdeal can be a part of Alibaba's grand plan to take on Amazon in India by strategic stake holdings in leading players of the region,' said Ghose."

Livemint logo
Excerpt from Livemint -- "As Aswath Damodaran says in his recent book, Narrative And Numbers, it would be a fallacy to look purely at numbers without understanding the narrative behind the numbers.

Research by Professor Thomas Philippon and PhD student Germán Gutiérrez on the link between valuation and corporate investment is cited

Wall Street Journal logo
Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "So why don’t the high profits attract competitors to build new companies—or expand existing companies into new lines of business—for less than the cost of buying stock in existing companies? The problem is longstanding, according to research by Germán Gutiérrez and Thomas Philippon at New York’s Stern School of Business. They show that the previous link between valuation and corporate investment weakened from the early 2000s, and as a result corporates have invested about 10% less than they otherwise would have done."
