Education is at the core of the MSCI Sustainability Institute, which is developing initiatives aimed at supporting a new generation of scholarship into the intersection of climate and capital.
Are companies and investors thinking holistically enough when it comes to addressing global challenges such as social inequality or climate change?
Are companies lacking an incentive to uphold their climate commitments? The evidence suggests so, says Marcin Kacperczyk, a professor of finance at Imperial College London, who discusses his research into the risks faced by companies and investors in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Directing capital to better drive sustainable value demands research that’s not only analytically rigorous but also practicable. We spoke with leading investment practitioners, who shared with us what topics they would most like academic researchers to examine.
Think you know how sustainability news impacts companies’ stock prices? You might think again after watching our conversation with Aaron Yoon, a professor of accounting and information management at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
The Institute’s inaugural cohort of climate scholars examined the power of MSCI’s scenario-analysis tool to serve as an indicator of movement in asset prices and the value of artificial intelligence in surfacing company spending as a proxy for climate readiness.
This research is designed to illuminate what companies’ capital spending can tell investors about the credibility of their climate commitments.
This study aims to assess the potential of Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR) to serve as an early warning indicator for the movement of asset prices.
Our Climate Scholars Program brings together some of the best minds in finance and climate science to support research by master’s-level students.
