Excerpt from New York Magazine -- "Haidt and Lukianoff note how humans are constructed genetically for this kind of tribal warfare, to divide the world instinctively into in-groups and out-groups almost from infancy. For homo sapiens, it is natural to see the world, as Rabbi Jonathan Sacks put it, as radically 'divided into the unimpeachably good and the irredeemably bad.'”

Excerpt from Institutional Investor -- "Although higher risk can sometimes lead to higher returns, the additional risks taken by sports car drivers “ultimately hurt their investors,” authors Stephen Brown, Yan Lu, Sugata Ray, and Melvyn Teo, who are all finance professors, wrote in the paper. They found that sports car owners delivered lower Sharpe ratios and alphas, and traded 'more frequently, actively, and unconventionally.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "Maher Said, a New York University Stern School of Business professor who focuses on auctions, said the first step in an auction like this is figuring out how much the asset is really worth to you, and then what you think it’s worth to your rival. Next is gaming out a range of possible bids from your rival. 'The concern is you don’t want to raise the price so high and end up holding the bag,' he said."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'That is not what the investment bankers signed on to be; they wanted to be "masters of the universe" and make big bucks,' said Roy Smith, emeritus professor of management practice at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'They didn’t sign on to be low-risk public utilities.'"

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "'It would be good for the government to take a unified approach to regulating crypto assets, but given the byzantine structure of our financial regulation, I would not expect miracles,' said Yermack."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'I see China as five years ahead of the U.S. when it comes to the extent to which digitalization is integrated into this economy,' Arun Sundararajan, professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, said during the same panel discussion Thursday."

Excerpt from Refinery29 -- "'When you're playing a slot machine, the machine will tell you when you've won with ringing bells and flashing lights,' Adam Alter, a social psychologist at New York University, said in the documentary. 'And a lot of the apps we use now have elements of that built in, even when they aren't really about games.'"

Excerpt from Vox -- (2:17) "People who work at museums are very concerned. It changes the nature of what artwork is most attractive to consumers. In order to compete with the trendy colorful exhibits that are popping up, you have to add some of those components to the more traditional exhibits."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'But distance is the thing that shows up everywhere,' said Johannes Stroebel, a professor at N.Y.U.’s Stern School of Business and a co-author of the research, along with Michael Bailey at Facebook, Rachel Cao at Harvard, Theresa Kuchler at N.Y.U. and Arlene Wong at Princeton. 'Distance matters,' Mr. Stroebel said, 'in explaining every single county’s connectedness.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "King’s recipe to prevent a re-run: ensure lenders have enough collateral in place at the central bank to justify it acting as lender of last resort, restoring liquidity to the financial system. 'It is vital to sort out the conditions under which those loans will be made in advance, to make sure that banks do have enough collateral or security to justify those loans, and that it’s big enough to let the central bank lend enough money to prevent a bank run and collapse of the system,' said King, who was succeeded by Mark Carney in 2013 and has now returned to academia."

Excerpt from TechRepublic -- "Developers of the future will need to learn more skills, particularly in data analysis, said Kristen Sosulski, clinical associate professor of information, operations, and management sciences in the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, and author of Data Visualization Made Simple. 'Everything from statistical data analysis, to non-linear and linear data analysis, to machine learning and even artificial intelligence,' Sosulski said. 'It's really not just learning how to code, it's also learning how to analyze data and sell different models.'"

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "'Apple is not a tech company, it’s a luxury brand,' said Scott Galloway, professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business. 'Just as Apple copied Louis Vuitton, you’re going to see Nike and Adidas copy Apple.'"

Excerpt from Quartz -- "The results are strikingly similar to the findings of a February 2018 paper from researchers at NYU and Via, a ride-hail app that operates in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC, with exclusively shared rides. In that experiment, the researchers considered how best to compensate several thousand 'frustrated' riders who were picked up at least 8 minutes later than Via estimated in New York and DC (the Uber paper, remember, dealt with late drop-offs)."

Excerpt from Vox -- "That’s another feature of financial history, i.e., taking tough measures in the wake of a crisis and then watering them down over time. What’s different this time is that the watering-down began almost immediately instead of waiting a bit. That makes me think that we will not again have to wait half a century or more before the next large-scale financial crisis arrives."

Excerpt from CGTN -- (:34) "It's the beginning of estimating the damage, this storm has a tendency to linger for a long time and drop a lot of rainfall so there will be, I'm afraid, a multiple of the estimate of damage that we have right now."

Excerpt from ThinkAdvisor -- "As with every technology, there’s always risk and opportunity. When people talk about AI, [most] focus on what they [perceive] as people losing their jobs. There’s a potential for AI to be weaponized; and, obviously, it will eliminate some jobs. However, there are also tons of economic opportunities that it creates."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (:24) "There's certainly been the improvement in the economy, well not so much from 2007, but from the depths of the great recession which was roughly 2010 but also a greatly improved financial sector, more capital, more liquidity, more resilience generally. So both the economy at large and the financial sector specifically, much improvement since roughly 2008."

Excerpt from CNNMoney -- "'The whole phenomenon is very promising,' said Anindya Ghose, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business who teaches a course on e-commerce and social media. 'A number of companies have tried it with mixed results. The potential is much higher than what we have seen so far.'"

Excerpt from Dataconomy -- "Located in New York City, the financial heart of the United States, students at NYU’s Stern School of Business must take just one course related to Big Data but have the option to take 16 more classes to build a foundation in theory and hands-on applications of data science."

Excerpt from Forbes India -- "Similarly, Deepak Hegde of New York University’s Stern School of Business and Justin Tumlinson in their 2014 study show positive performance effects for start-ups when venture capitalists and the start-ups they invest in are close in ethnicity."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (:25) "The situation we are seeing unfold at CBS and lots of other organizations is a great example of our noticing really amping up...Our norms have changed and that's a big part of what actually changes attitudes, biases, and behaviors, is when our norms change, when our noticing changes."

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "'Bitcoin happened to be launched in 2009, but it was the culmination of decades of attempts to create a digital currency on a peer-to-peer basis,' said David Yermack, a professor of finance and business transformation at New York University. ... 'They stumbled upon something — an experiment, you could say,' said Roubini, a professor of economics often identified as 'Dr. Doom.' 'They pretend to be libertarian, but they are a new generation of self-serving gold bugs. They only care about their money, not the protocol or the technology.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (4:05) "They didn't have to save the Lehman equity holders, but they needed to make it less of a crisis because if I don't know whether you had Lehman exposure, am I going to lend you money? No. And it was that uncertainty that caused everybody to pull in. They pulled in their financing and it led to the crisis."

Excerpt from BBC -- "Stehlik says from a human perspective, managers need to show compassion: 'You have to honour how people put love in their life,' she says. 'The day a manager doesn’t show compassion, then the worker turns around and says, ‘this is a hostile work environment."'
 

Excerpt from TechRepublic -- "'Python is very popular because of its set of robust libraries that make it such a dynamic and a fast programming language,' said Kristen Sosulski, clinical associate professor of information, operations, and management sciences in the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, and author of Data Visualization Made Simple. 'It's object-oriented, and it really allows for everything from creating a website, to app development, to creating different types of data models.'"
