Luigi Zingales
University of Chicago Booth School of BusinessThe question of the purpose of firms in society is receiving renewed attention. The rise of ESG and, especially, the many challenges facing society such as climate change bring the attention of academics and policy-makers to the (political) role of firms in providing common good and shaping the political landscape around them. Developments on the political economy of finance literature are intimately related to the literature studying how stakeholders affect firm objectives and the pursuit of the common good. This edition aims to showcase studies on the political economy of finance addressing these issues of our time.
The organising committee invites submissions of theoretical and empirical papers on these issues. Topics of interest for the conference include:
The politics of corporate social responsibility
Corporate lobbying, regulation, and the environment
Political ideology and firm value
The political economy of corporate governance
Political influence, competition, and innovation
Political institutions and corporations
Corporate power, academic research, and society
Markets, firms, and money in politicsSUBMISSION: The submission deadline is Sunday 11 June 2023 (6PM BST). There is no submission fee. The authors will be notified about the acceptance of papers in August 2023. Please visit the conference website for further instructions on the submission process.
