但是,不可否认,郎咸平在自身专注领域上(公司治理与财务管理)的学术成就与地位,却是其他国内“宠物经济学家”(郎咸平语)所望尘莫及的。首先,郎咸平的正式学术职位是香港中文大学财务学讲座教授(Chair Professor of Finance)。这一“讲座教授”并非荣誉职位,而是比正教授再高一级的实质职称。其次,香港中文大学的教授遴选标准以严苛闻名全球,不少毕业自牛津、哈佛、斯坦福的博士奋斗终身,熬到退休,还未能在香港评上正教授。而郎咸平却早在38岁(1994年)就评为香港中文大学正教授,41岁(1997年)获香港中文大学第一批讲座教授殊荣。这显然与郎咸平在专业领域上的杰出贡献是分不开的。下面我们就来简要看下郎咸平的学术贡献。
American Economic Review(《美国经济评论》)是全球经济学领域最顶尖的学术期刊,没有之一。Journal of Political Economy(《政治经济学杂志》)是全球经济学领域综合排名第三的刊物,不少诺贝尔经济学奖获得者的成名作都发表于此。Journal of Financial Economics(《金融经济学杂志》)和Journal of Financial(《 金融杂志》)分别是全球金融研究领域的第一、第二名的学术期刊。总而言之,以上四份刊物都是全球经济学及金融学研究的顶尖刊物。
郎咸平2000年发表在《金融经济学杂志》的The separation of ownership and control in East Asian Corporations / 〈东亚公司中所有权与控制权的分离〉被引用达2105次。1994年发表在《政治经济学杂志》上的Tobin's q, corporate diversification and firm performance / 〈托宾的Q, 公司多元化经营与公司业绩〉被引用次数达1650次。2002年发表在《金融经济学杂志》上的The ultimate ownership of Western European corporations / 〈西欧公司的最终所有权〉被引用达1330次。2002年发表在《金融经济学杂志》上的Disentangling the incentive and entrenchment effects of large shareholdings / 〈大股东激励壁垒与解析效应〉被引用达1336次…
而我们将国内公认的最顶尖经济学家(没有之一),现任世界银行高级副行长兼首席经济学家林毅夫的论文的被引率进行比较。林毅夫被引用次数最多的论文是1992年发表在《美国经济评论》的Rural reforms and agricultural growth in China / 〈中国的农村改革与农业发展〉, 被引用次数只有947次。
