DOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN THE FIELD OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS - PHD BUSINESS ECONOMICS
申请截止日期：2022年4月29日
At the Department of Financial Management, Campus Antwerp (FEB, KU Leuven), we are looking for a motivated, independent, and enthusiastic researcher in the field of financial economics for a four-year research project on climate change, sustainable investing, and wine economics.
Project：
Financial assets are contractual claims to benefits that flow from ownership from income-producing entities. In turn, the owner of real assets has the right to possess and personally enjoy a particular piece of durable physical property that is typically unique (or at least in limited supply and subject to heterogeneity in quality). Ownership also gives the right to contract over the use of this property. This project focuses specifically on the pricing of such real assets, more specifically, wine. This research tackles key research questions, such as the impact of climate change on the cross-section of wine returns. Since vines need five elements to grow(sunlight, temperature, carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients), the effect of weather and climate is very important. However, is this also reflected in expected returns of wine? Second, we tackle demand systems of asset-pricing by introducing holdings of wine investments by (retail) investors. The questions allow us to better understand the dynamics in other asset classes, such as stocks or bonds.
