Hi All,
I am considering a PhD in Finance and would like suggestions on a research proposal ( Behavioural finance and investing).
ESG is a hot topic... SEC might standardize ESG reporting---
How do investors (individual or institutional) react to poor (or good) ESG programs? (what defines a good ESG status? not sure if it is defined because it isn't standardized in SEC filings... ---)
Take the most deprived categories of your country for instance Farmers (Marginal and Small), Fishermen, dwellers and check the extent of reach of Financial inclusion among them and also check the impact on their socio economic lives
Behavioural Finance is interesting. I have just had a Master student do one.
You can find out the Reasons / Purpose / Objectives of Investors to invest in different investment avenues especially in Mutual Funds; the basis criteria of choosing the appropriate type of fund and Test whether the investors' expectations on the Return on Investment is having significant relationship with the purpose / objective of investment.
Perhaps you need to read the following articles first. (Grossman, 1976), (Black, 1986), (Hellwig, 1980), (Grossman & Stiglitz, 1980), (De Long, Shleifer, Summers, & Waldmann, 1990), (Brock & Hommes, 1997), (Brock, & Hommes, 1998), and (Hommes, 2021). These articles are the most influential in the behavioural economics literature.
