Future Replication Issues

The CFR is thinking about future replication issues. The selection process is based on a list of 300 currently influential papers (last 3-4 years), published in major finance journals:

This list excludes influential papers published in economics journals, because I did not know how to search for them. A replication issue should also consider influential papers published in venues other than the four journals used above. The editor ultimately selects the papers. My choices were mostly mechanical. I started at the top and chose related criteria, then looked down for similar papers. Many omitted are papers already covered by recent CFR issues (such as LLSV papers by Holderness), liquidity papers, survey papers (incl. Graham-Harvey), and Fama-French papers (being replicated universally hundreds of times a year).)

The following papers seem to represent about 50-100 of the most of the influential papers in finance in early 2017. Some are quite old, some are quite new. Good candidates for issues are
