The role of Technology, Models, and Metrics in the Socially Responsible Investing Field

Cel

I propose to study the emergence of the socially responsible investing field. Responsible investing refers to the consideration of the impact of environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) in the choice of financial investments, and the integration of these factors in traditional financial portfolio analysis and engagement activity. This phenomenon is growing quickly but whether or not these new practices will be effective in influencing corporate behaviour in more responsible ways remains an open question. In this project I will focus my attention on three related processes: the design of novel technological and data infrastructure for responsible investing, the emergence of novel investing practices, and finally the role of engagement in the process. To explore them in depth, I have designed a multi-method study of the key players in this emerging field, and structured it around three studies: study 1 will explore the design and deployment of a novel data and information platform in one of the leading information providers in the financial markets; study 2 will focus on the different ways in which asset managers are attempting to integrate ESG factors and traditional financial analysis; study 3 will focus on the engagement process at the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility, with a focus on both the practices and their outcome.

This study will contribute to our understanding of the relationship between socio-political values and financial value, and help further our understanding of financial markets, and provide interesting insights for finance practitioners and policy-makers on how to develop a robust responsible investing community.
