minus-squareOptional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 month ago All 12 papers had one thing in common: Brian M Lucey, Professor of International Finance and Commodities, Trinity College Dublin — the #1 ranked economics and business school in Ireland — as a co-author. Lucey published 56 papers in 2025, one paper every 6.5 days. Lmao. Lucey has published 44 papers in Finance Research Letters alone, an Elsevier journal he edited. What a shitbird.
