In addition, he has published numerous books on equity valuation and corporate finance, and has several articles published in renowned journals of finance, including The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis and the Journal of Finance.  

In 2011 Damodaran was elected as the most popular business professor in the US by MBA students in a survey done by Business Week. This enthusiasm for teaching, while showing great competence and expertise in his field, has earned him the nickname as the "Dean of Valuation".  

Furthermore, he has written five books on valuation, three on portfolio management and three on corporate finance. In his latest book from 2017, Narrative and Numbers, he expresses the necessity of both factors in valuing a company. In other words, he sees the importance of both quantitative and qualitative analysis in valuation.  

Besides from being a professor and a renowned publisher, Damodaran updates his followers through his blog Musings on Markets. The blog was selected by the Times of London as one of the top ten stock market blogs in the world. If he isn’t giving updates through his blog, you can find him as a frequent producer of YouTube-videos. His humble approach to teaching valuation and corporate finance to as many people for free, gives the impression that he truly lives and breaths for his favorite subjects.
