SUMMARY:Guest lecture by Dr. Alminas Zaldokas
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: ESG Shocks in Global Supply Chains \nDr. Alminas Zaldokas \nFriday\, August 25 at 9:30-11:00  \n  \nCorporations are facing increasing pressure by customers\, workers\, shareholders\, and regulators to monitor and manage environmental and social (E&S) activities along their supply chains. Is it working? \nProf. Alminas Zaldokas and co-authors show that U.S. firms cut imports and are more likely to terminate a trade relationship when their international suppliers experience environmental and social (E&S) incidents. These trade cuts are larger for publicly-listed U.S. importers facing high E&S investor pressure and lead to cross-country supplier reallocation\, suggesting that E&S preferences in capital markets can have real effects in far-flung economies. Larger trade cuts around the scandal result in higher supplier E&S scores in subsequent years and in the eventual resumption of trade. Our results highlight the role of customers’ exit in ensuring suppliers’ E&S compliance along global supply chains.  \nYou can read the full paper “ESG Shocks in Global Supply Chains” here.  \n  \nHow to attend? \nPlease register here to attend the lecture: https://forms.gle/LbprYzpUMJu82who9 \nAll lectures will take place at Riga Business School (11 Skolas Street\, Riga) with an option to attend online via Zoom. \n  \nAbout the guest lecturer \n \nDr. Alminas Žaldokas \nAlminas Žaldokas is an Associate Professor in Finance at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). \nHis research focuses on the interaction between firm decisions in the financial product markets.
