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.'"

Excerpt from MoneyControl -- "Moreover, financial markets were also central to rising inequality, as initially shown by researchers such as Thomas Philippon and Simon Johnson."

Excerpt from NPR -- (1:42:48) "We have lots of evidence in my field of psychology that we don't always hit the mark of who we see ourselves as...as psychologists what we can tell you is we have unconscious bias, we have blind spots, we have all sorts of ways in which outside of our own awareness we are swayed by situational forces around us..."

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "'There's been a tremendous amount of consolidation during the last four decades,' Sylla said. 'The American banking system went from about 13 or 14,000 commercial banks four decades ago down to closer to 5,000 now.'"

Excerpt from CNN -- (1:21) "What began happening in 2014, 2015, is that professors and students who would say something, somebody would react to one word and there would be protests and there would be demands that the person be punished or fired and it took everyone by surprise. It seemed very strange. That's what we are seeing now, the new generation of students -- these are not millennials, these are the kids born after 1995. They have been raised in a very protected way, they are very sensitive to the power of words but there is this huge clash on campus now that is making it very difficult for example, to teach a class. You speak for an hour and if one person is offended by one word, they can report you."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "When you study these serial breakthrough innovators, you'll discover that a lot of them are what in management we would call 'low self-monitors,' meaning they don't monitor their persona or the way they present themselves very carefully. This is actually relevant to their ability to generate unusual ideas and to persist in the face of criticism. A person who cares a lot what people think of them is a person that’s going to make concessions when people disagree with their ideas."

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "'Private equity-owned schools are better at capturing government aid and that is coming at the expense of student outcomes, said Sabrina Howell, a finance professor at NYU Stern and one of the authors of the study."

Excerpt from the Los Angeles Times -- "'We’re encouraging people to adopt very risky financial behavior — to acquire an illiquid, undiversified asset and to borrow heavily against it,' [Schoenholtz] said."

Excerpt from CBS -- "We know that we pay a lot of attention to our names. There's an effect known as the cocktail party effect. And it's this idea that if you're at a cocktail party, there could be 100 people in a room. You could be at one corner of the room. There's a lot of noise. But if someone at the other corner of the room says your first name, you will hear it."
