In a departure from our regular programming, host Brett Josephson welcomes to the podcast a colleague and former classmate, Jon Jackson. Jon is an assistant professor of finance at Providence College where he teaches classes on operations management and business analytics. While in their PhD program at Washington State, Brett and Jon developed a model for predicting success in fantasy football auction drafts. On this episode, the pair discuss how this model was developed and the insights it has brought them through almost nine years of use.
