FYI: Should pension funds be short sellers? A forthcoming paper in the Boston University Law Review suggests they should.
By engaging in more short selling, institutional allocators like pensions and endowments could better capitalize on negative market information and exert more influence over corporate governance and public policy, according to authors Peter Molk (University of Florida) and Frank Partnoy (University of California, Berkeley).
