Seminar Series

2023 - 2024

Speaker: Sébastien Duchêne (Monpellier Business School).

Title: “Risk-return trade-offs in the context of environmental impact: a lab-in-the-field experiment with finance professionals”.

joint with A. Nguyen-Huu, D. Dubois and M. Willinger (all CEE Montpellier).

Date: Thursday, April 04th at 12h30 (Paris Time).

Abstract: We assess the impact of environmental externalities on portfolio decisions in a lab-in-the-field experiment on finance professionals and students. Participants are prone to accept lower returns for positive environmental impact but will not bear increased risk. They show asymmetric pro-environmental preferences depending on the sign of the externality. Finance professionals are more pro-environment than students, particularly regarding positive externalities, and less influenced by a ranking signal about environmental performance. Control tasks show that experimental measures of pro-social and environmental preferences have less influence on port folios than market practices for professionals but are significant predictors for students.
