HISTORY
With the seminal works on option valuations by Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton in the early 1970s, academic research in the field grew rapidly in the subsequent 20 years, developing fully from “options pricing” to “derivatives research.” Launched in 1993, The Journal of Derivatives was the third Journal launched by Institutional Investor since The Journal of Portfolio Management in 1974. The goal of JOD was, and still is, to be a platform for both academics and practitioners to come together, in a clear, concise, and approachable format. Prof. Stephen Figlewski was tapped as Founding Editor. Read the inaugural editor's letter here.
