“To develop and defend Fan’s work, He and Hansen formed a committee alongside Booth’s Veronica Guerrieri,the Ronald E. Tarrson Professor of Economics and a Willard Graham Faculty Scholar, and assistant professor Doron Ravid in the Department of Economics. Hansen, a Nobel laureate, said the committee wanted to ensure that the process was as rigorous as any that a UChicago student would face.

 

Like He, Hansen spent a lot of time working to present Fan’s work in an interesting way. “We were doing something meaningful intellectually, not just because a tragic thing happened,” Hansen said.

On March 2, He and Hansen presented Fan’s work over Zoom to more than 100 people—a much bigger audience than the usual Ph.D. defense. One of Fan’s research areas focused on the aftermath of the 2008–09 financial crisis, a time when many people questioned why bankers kept issuing subprime loans that were likely to fail. Fan’s work examined how rational bank behavior can lead to risky lending.
