“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Can you cite top research coming out of hedge funds? A handful of quant funds hire academics on a third-party consultancy basis with royalties paid on trading strategies designed. Usually "top-research" is measured via citations https://ideas.repec.org/top/
See, I really can't cite much specifically. I was under the impression that LTCM, for example, had already made discoveries by the time academia "discovered" them, but I'm having a bit of a hard time finding that exact info.
Maybe the better question is, "as a field, where is finance furthest along and who is taking it that direction?"
edit: Maybe also, "what are the big problems being worked on in the field of finance right now, and why?"
I acknowledge the spirit of the questions... but they do not make any sense..
besides.. what do you mean by "where is finance furthest along?" ... finance professionals provide a service.. and each service is valued by its usefulness to each individual... if you trade millions of dollars each day you will gladly shell out 25K for a bloomberg terminal whereas if you do not trade at all you will probably not want that ugly junk sitting in your basement even if I paid you money to keep it..
also, big problems in finance are also subjective..if you are a scalper your problem is the lag time between things happening and the news getting to you.. if you are a VC your problem is identifying companies that click best with the widest target market..
I hope I have explained my point ..
