A new report released by the Social Science Research Network, an online research repository, has revealed that Jim Barth, the Lowder Eminent Scholar in Finance in Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business, is among the top 1% of almost 7 million researchers whose publications were downloaded during the past 12 months.

His co-authored works, “Bank Regulation and Supervision: What Works Best?” and “Rethinking Bank Regulation: Till Angels Govern” (Cambridge University Press and translated into Chinese by China Financial Publishing House), have been cited a combined 5,260 times by peers.

“We constructed an index that tells you how countries are regulating and supervising banks around the world,” Barth said. “We’re the first people in the world to ever do that. You could take those measurements of regulation and supervision and determine what the best way is to regulate and supervise banks around the world to promote economic growth and stability. Our work was conducted under the auspices of the World Bank.
