KAROLINE BAX

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER & LECTURER 

Technical University of Munich

I am a passionate researcher in the field of sustainable finance, biodiversity, and climate finance, and a recipient of the 2024 Lamfalussy Research Fellowship from the European Central Bank (ECB).​

 

​​​​In my research, I explore how investors assess corporate climate risks and how text analysis and AI can enhance the identification of risk profiles. Additionally, I examine investors' reliance on ESG ratings, climate risk scores, and corporate disclosures, as well as the methodologies behind ESG scoring and potential greenwashing risks. My goal is to apply these insights to asset pricing, risk management, and portfolio analysis, ultimately improving sustainable investment decision-making.
