Our new faculty member in finance, Professor Eric Ghysels, Bernstein Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Professor of Finance at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate (Doctor Honoris Causa) from the University of Liege, at the proposal of the HEC Liege faculty.
After giving a talk on 22.03.19 on “Artificial Intelligence Alter Egos” in Liege, he received the insignia from the Rector of the University of Liege in the presence of the UCLouvain Vice-Rector Jacques Grégoire and the LSM Dean Per Agrell. The LSM is proudly joining the celebration of Eric for this well-deserved distinction after a long and rich scientific contribution to finance, econometrics and operations research.
