His research has been cited in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The L.A.

While studying for his Ph.D., Dr.Odean worked at Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors and IRIS Financial Engineering, and co-owned a seat on the Pacific Stock Exchange. During the summer of 1970, he drove a yellow cab in New York City.
