Lerner Faculty: Top Research Journal Articles in 2022

Faculty members from UD’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics published 25 research papers in their respective fields’ leading refereed journals in 2022. This included the top 50 journals used in the Financial Times research ranking, journals cited in the University of Texas (UT) Dallas Top 100 Business School Research Rankings and journals identified as highly selective “A” journals by the Lerner College’s five academic departments. This list is just one way the Lerner College recognizes and celebrates high-quality scholarship created and published by its faculty.

“Lerner’s mission statement confirms our faculty members’ commitment to ‘generate knowledge by proposing solutions to business and economic problems [and] cultivate a diverse faculty pursuing impactful scholarship,’” said Lerner Dean Bruce Weber.  “The most visible means for advancing our college’s reputation and raising our scholarly profile is our faculty developing research programs that target the most respected and competitive journals in their field.”
