8 Acknowledgements We thank, foremost, Roger G. Ibbotson, Chairman and CIO of Zebra Capital Management, Professor in Practice at the Yale School of Management, and founder and former Chairman of Ibbotson Associates, for his contributions to this book. Professor Ibbotson and Rex A. Sinquefield, a director of Dimensional Fund Advisors (Santa Monica, CA), wrote the two journal articles and four books upon which the Ibbotson Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation Classic Yearbook is based and formulated much of the philosophy and methodology. Dimensional Fund Advisors also provides the small stock returns, as it has since We thank others who contributed to this book. Rolf W. Banz provided the small stock returns for Thomas S. Coleman (Greenwich, CT), Professor Lawrence Fisher of Rutgers University, and Roger Ibbotson constructed the model used to generate the intermediate-term government bond series for The pioneering work of Professors Fisher and James H. Lorie of the University of Chicago inspired the original monograph. We also wish to acknowledge the valuable role of Dr. Stan V. Smith, President of Smith Economics Group, Ltd. and former managing director of Ibbotson Associates, who originated the idea of the Yearbook. The Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP ) at the University of Chicago contributed the data and methodology for the returns on the NYSE by capitalization decile used in Chapter 7, Firm Size and Return. Ken French, of Dartmouth College, and Eugene Fama, of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, contributed the data and methodology for the returns on the growth and value portfolios. Chapter 9, Liquidity Investing, was written by Roger Ibbotson, Professor in Practice at Yale School of Management. Daniel Y.-J. Kim, Research Director of Zebra Capital Management, and Michael Holmgren, of Integrated Time Series Analytics, helped develop the empirical results. William N. Goetzmann, Roger Ibbotson, and Liang Peng, all at the Yale School of Management, assembled the New York Stock Exchange database for the period prior to 1926, while James Licato converted the research into Chapter 12, Stock Market Returns from James Licato also converted work originally authored by Peng Chen, president of Morningstar s global investment management division, into Chapter 11, Wealth Forecasting with Monte Carlo Simulation, created Chapter 13, International Equity Investing, and contributed to other chapters. Rod Bare contributed Chapter 14, Lifecycle Investing. Paul Kaplan PhD, while at Ibbotson Associates, was the main contributor to Chapter 10, Using Historical Data in Forecasting and Optimization, and more recently, created a set of monthly real stock market total returns going back a full 125 years in Chapter 12. Also, in Chapter 10, Paul Kaplan and Sam Savage, Consulting Professor of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University, present new research and methodology that they have aptly dubbed Markowitz 2.0 which promises to take traditional portfolio optimization into the supersonic age. Paul, now director of European quantitative research at Morningstar, Peng Chen, and Thomas Idzorek, chief investment officer and director of research at Morningstar Investment Management, all continue to provide valuable insights and analysis for the SBBI yearbook series. We want to thank Laurence B. Siegel, research director of the Research Foundation of CFA Institute and senior advisor to Ounavarra Capital LLC, New York; from 1994 to 2009 he was director of research at the Ford Foundation and prior to that at Ibbotson Associates, James Harrington, formerly the senior editor of the SBBI Yearbooks at Morningstar, and Michael Barad, formerly the head of financial communications at Ibbotson Associates and Morningstar, for their many contributions to the Yearbook.
