I wrote a fun new paper about the top 10 things in finance and economics that are my pet peeves. The article was inspired by the wonderful Cliff Asness paper from 2014 in which he debunks many common finance myths. Many of the things that annoy Cliff also annoy me, but I tend to get more annoyed by bad economic narratives. So, while this paper will never match up to the brilliant thinking of someone like Cliff I hope it’s a useful and different angle on some bad narratives that I wish would disappear (but likely won’t).
I hope you learn something new from this short and fun paper. Read the full paper here.
