Our #summercourse in #sustainablefinance is starting again in July. This course is for #PhDstudents, who are doing research in this field. Last year, I gave the course for the first time based on the latest literature in the field and our new textbook Corporate Finance for Long-Term Value. It was great to see the participating PhD students presenting new research ideas in the field of sustainable finance on the last day. https://lnkd.in/ea8feWQX

Read Florencia Roca’s last paper in our Journal of New Finance “What is New in Value Investing? A Systematic Literature Review” which retrieves a database of 400 academic works published between 1975 and 2020, and identifies competing explanations of the value premium and wrong beliefs on investing.

🎓 Excited to share that I've successfully completed the "Financing and Investing in Infrastructure" course from Università Bocconi Infrastructure investments are pivotal for global development, and understanding how to finance them efficiently is crucial. This course delved into the intricacies of using debt and equity to fund infrastructure projects, alongside insights into how private investors approach these opportunities. Did you know? By 2030, the global infrastructure investment requirement is projected to reach a staggering $71 trillion, highlighting the immense scale of this sector's importance. Throughout the course, I gained practical knowledge on project finance techniques, explored real-life examples, and honed my ability to analyze complex transactions. From public sources to private investors, understanding the financial dynamics of infrastructure investments is paramount in today's economy. I'm excited to apply these learnings and contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure projects worldwide. A big thank you to the instructors and Coursera for this invaluable opportunity! #InfrastructureInvestment #Finance #ProfessionalDevelopment #Investing #GlobalDevelopment 🌍💼

A great read in terms of being objective and drawing on the authors’ past investment experience. Feeling like this book is heavily skewed toward consumers and tech (more consumer-facing) with applications and deep understandings of consumer economics and consumer behaviors. The third great point of this book is the extensive and detailed categorizations of different scenarios in success patterns it sees. I don’t like case studies but extremely enjoyed reading short examples based on empirical experiences. Stay Humble

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆?   👨🏫 On September 24, we had the pleasure of hosting Stefan Zeisberger from Radboud University/University of Zurich. He presented his new study titled “𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘋𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺? 𝘌𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘰 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴,” co-authored by Lars Hornuf (TU Dresden) and Christoph Merkle (Aarhus University).   🤖 The authors conducted a field experiment with a robo-advisor involving participants who were actual customers investing their own money. The robo-advisor randomly offered new customers the option to either opt-in or opt-out of a sustainable investment plan vs. a conventional investment. After investing, the customers were then surveyed on their beliefs about sustainable investments.   🌳 The authors find that when sustainable investing was set as the default option, more people chose it compared to when they had to explicitly opt-in (36% vs. 23%). Investors’ beliefs about whether sustainable investments will outperform conventional ones in the future were closely aligned with their chosen investment plans. This indicates that both conventional and sustainable investors select their plans based on the belief that they will yield higher risk-adjusted returns. Thus, sustainable investors may still be primarily motivated by economic considerations rather than a willingness to forgo potential returns. 👉 The study will 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 be available on the authors' webpages (Stefan's page: https://lnkd.in/epVurReA) ❓ What are your thoughts on these findings? Do you think default options could reshape investment behaviour?
