Abstract

I’ve felt Hugo’s influence in so many ways, but here are three examples. First, the way he talked about his subject helped me to believe it was something I could spend my professional life on. Second, when I expressed an interest in writing a Finance dissertation, Hugo introduced me to his friend Rich Kihlstrom, who met with me once a week at Penn and became an unofficial member of my committee. Third, I can’t imagine that I would have studied mathematics (or met my wife, Yan) after leaving Princeton, if not for Hugo.
