Kate Litvak (UT Law, and friend of TOTM) , whose excellent paper (discussed around the blogosphere here and here), “The Effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on Non-US Companies Cross-Listed in the US,” has been selected as the best paper for the forthcoming special issue of the Journal of Corporate Finance associated with the Boundaries of Regulation conference. This is quite an impressive accomplishment for a junior scholar doing interdisciplinary work in a highly technical field like finance, or for that matter, anybody else. Congratulations Kate!
