Goals

Our primary goal is to deepen the understanding of how financial markets and instruments can support the transition to a sustainable economy. To do so, our research addresses the following topics:

  • The integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into investment strategies and their impact on market performance;
  • The efficiency of financial markets and the identification of arbitrage opportunities through advanced data analytics;
  • The analysis of the dynamics of risk premiums across equity, credit, and commodity markets;
  • The analysis of volatility transmission and risk spillovers within and across financial and energy markets;
  • The design of the electricity market as the cornerstone of electrification of the remaining sectors;
  • The role of financial players in carbon and energy markets, and their influence on market stability and sustainability;
  • The implications of market design and regulation frameworks for fostering resilient, transparent, and sustainable financial and energy systems.
