Using The Internet To Keep Up To Date With The Latest Research In Finance

John P. Scordo, Esq.
Bio
Introduction - Keeping current with the most recent academic finance articles and working papers, using only the internet, is not easy. I have tried to collect below a  list of sites that can be visited regularly to keep up to date on the latest leading research in finance, as well as more comprehensive lists of research-related and other interesting sites.  I have also provided below a running list of interesting and potentially influential articles, mostly focused on academic research in the financial markets. I tend to prefer large scale, long term empirical research.  The "Shorter Articles/New Sites of Note" focuses on more easily readable, semi-academic articles and additional sites of interest.
