Ravid work has been covered by the press around the world including the NYTimes Wall Street Journal the BBC Yedioth IDF radio and many others in the US and around the world
His most recent interview was April which will be broadcast on NPR later in the month
What is your favorite aspect of your job at YU
I like and respect my students
I have taught in many universities from top Ivy League schools such as Yale and Cornell to state schools such as Rutgers and I spent much time teaching at Haifa University in Israel
Syms students make the top of the list for me
They are eager to learn have a respectful attitude towards the professors and work hard
The dual curriculum helps much in that respect as I have learned with my own kids
And in real life hard work is the only predictor of success one can control
I also like my colleagues and because Syms and YU are small you get to work closely with people in other disciplines
In my roles in university committees and as VP and incoming president of the faculty council I also get to interact with colleagues in entirely different disciplines
The Jewish calendar is of course a plus since you never have to reschedule classes because of Jewish Holidays as was the case when I taught in other universities
Some of the students end up on Wall Street broadly defined most often in banks
Others work in real estate and a significant proportion goes on to graduate schools sometimes the best this year I have a student who is continuing at Penn Law and Wharton Former students ended up in Harvard law school and similar high quality universities
What profession did you think you would one day hold when you were a child
I have always been interested in various areas from math and physics to acting public speaking communications and literature so I have changed my mind often
I worked on documentary movies when I was a teenager considered going to the Technion for Physics and ended up as a professional journalist as my first real job after the army
However I found reporting with a daily deadline not sufficiently fulfilling and thus decided to try for a PhD at Cornell
What research are you working on now
One of the main aspects defining your professional life in a top level university is research
Although I have been an academic for more than three decades I am still excited about new ideas and about in depth exploration of various topics
For example we colleagues from Cornell and the University of Texas have just published a paper which debunks the myth that internet reviews have replaced professional reviews in determining which movie consumers will go to see
Another paper provides a new look at firm hedging policies
Another just accepted paper which is co authored with colleagues at the University of Chicago NJIT and the University of Texas looks at intellectual property contracts a very hot topic these days
I am now working with my colleague Shu Han at Syms on a project with some funding from the New York City Mayor Office of media and entertainment which tries to assess whether women have equal opportunities in the movie business another project looks at the value of human capital in the theater
We are also working on a project with Gabriela Coiculescu at Syms and a colleague at Baruch which looks at the determinants of innovation in firms and finally some work in progress with a colleague at NYU looks at the fundamentals of value creation in firms
When I was a teenager I met the US secretary general and appeared on several coast to coast TV shows on CBS
This was when I represented Israel in a youth leadership conference organized by the state department
Later I tried to find copies of these shows but CBS does not have them and all I have are low quality shots of the TV screen
However I cherish the experience and I am grateful for the many interesting people I met during that first enchanted visit to the US
They include for example Erkki Liikanen who represented Finland in that conference
We were roommates in an orientation offered to the delegates from over countries and he went on to become an MP in Finland then finance minister and now the head of the central bank
We are still in touch many decades later
