Research Roundup Newsletter
The Research Roundup is a monthly summary of accomplishments highlighting the impact of CBS scholarship. Each edition recognizes CBS authored papers published and research awards won by the CBS community members this month. We have a lot to be proud of from the innovative thought leadership, cutting-edge research, and groundbreaking ideas generated at CBS. Please help us promote and celebrate your research successes by submitting them here. Your achievements will be shared with colleagues across the School, who further amplify the impact of your scholarship.
Research Promotion
The CBS Marketing and Communications team works closely with faculty to help us promote and celebrate new research. More details, including how to request PR and media coverage, can be found online. Faculty are also encouraged to reach out to Roland Wyn Jones, Senior Director of Communications Content, to collaborate on the creation of a Research in Brief.
SSRN Research Paper Series
Ensure that your published papers are included in the SSRN Columbia Business School Research Paper Series by submitting the paper through the Columbia Business School RPS Submission Form.
Meet Your Neighbor Lunches
Meet Your Neighbor Lunches are an opportunity to get to know your colleagues and the work they do in an informal way while enjoying a good free lunch (we may be the exception to the rule of "no free lunch").
During MYN Lunches, two of the host floor's faculty members give an informal overview of their work followed by an open discussion over lunch provided by the Office of the Vice Dean for Research. The focus isn't a particular paper or project, but rather an overview of research interests. Different floors have their lunches on different dates to allow faculty to attend lunches on other floors as well. An email and calendar invites will be circulated to all full-time faculty at the beginning of each semester.

Columbia Business School Practice Prize
This award was created in 2023 and is intended to recognize a faculty member who has made significant contributions to the practice of business and policy. “Practice” in this context can mean for-profit, not-for-profit, or policy. The award is open to full-time faculty members who have demonstrated scholarly work that has had a major positive impact on the public or private sector, generating positive impacts on society, increasing firm profitability or efficiency, shaping the leadership structure of an organization, or affecting regulation or government policy.
The inaugural Practice Prize recipient was Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, Earle W. Kazis and Benjamin Schore Professor of Real Estate in the Finance Division, in recognition of his groundbreaking research on the intersection of housing, asset pricing, and macroeconomics — what he calls the urban doom loop.
