Is corporate finance research in decline?1
过去十年公司金融主题的发表研究出现长期下降，但近期发展代表了重要的新方向，预计将继续影响学术活动。
Abstract There has been a secular decline in published research on corporate finance topics over the past decade or so. While this raises questions about the vitality of the field going forward, I argue that a number of recent developments represent important new directions for research in corporate finance. These developments have begun to have an impact on scholarly activity and I expect this to continue in the near future.
