An article about the recent financial crisis co-authored by Geoff Meeks, Professor of Financial Accounting, and Amir Amel-Zadeh, University Lecturer in Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School, won the Annual Manuscript Award for the best article published in 2013 in leading business journal Abacus.
The paper, entitled “Bank Failure, Mark-to-market and the Financial Crisis”, investigates the allegation that fair value accounting rules contributed significantly to the financial crisis. The authors will receive a prize, which is given for the best article published in the journal in each calendar year.
