Welcome to the website of CES PhD Seminar, based in the Centre d'Économie de la Sorbonne - Paris 1. The aim of this seminar is to offer an informal time for PhD students to present their work to other students, and to receive questions and feedback from them. The seminar is open to all PhD students and post-doc of the CES. Students from other universities and anyone interested are also most welcome. The goal is to allow students to present their early or finalized work to their colleagues in order to favor the understanding of the range of work done by CES PhD students across different areas.
The seminar will take place once per month, on Friday between 5pm and 6pm.
You can submit your work (preliminary or final) you want to present to one of the following email addresses: ces.phd.seminar@univ-paris1.fr or ces.phd.seminar@gmail.com
We are waiting for your paper! Feel free to email us for any questions, if you want to be added to the mailing list or if you want to be involved in the management of this seminar.

ESG strategy and default detection
Abstract: The transition to a sustainable future is gaining momentum, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are being adopted in the decision-making process. Some authors have found that ESG considerations are correlated with corporate default probabilities, a result that sometimes is attributed to the relationship of ESG criteria with corporate financial performance. Since 2015, Banque de France’s financial experts have been using ESG criteria in the constitution of a company’s qualitative profile, an element which is fundamental for its credit risk assessment activity. We study whether the presence of ESG criteria in a company’s qualitative profile increases financial experts’ forecast accuracy, using an instrumental variable approach and a very rich set of controls.
