WP alert: Many CEO deaths trigger large stock price changes—shareholders believe that many CEOs add shareholder value, but others are seen as not optimally matched or overpaid. The evidence suggests that CEOs are important, but also that some reduce shareholder value.

📢 Last call to sign up for our lecture this Thursday:
🌱📈 From values to impact: what can sustainable investing achieve?
Sustainable investing aims to align portfolios with investors’ values, influence corporate behaviour and deliver competitive financial returns - but can these ambitions be achieved together?
Our annual lecture in honour of @NobelPrize laureate in economics Sir Oliver Hart and supported by Global School of Sustainability at LSE will draw on experimental evidence and economic theory to explore what responsible investors seek, how financial institutions aggregate their preferences, and when divestment, engagement or conditional financing can shape corporate decisions.
How far can private finance generate genuine social and environmental impact - and where does public policy remain indispensable?
🗓 Thursday 12 November 2026 ⏰ 18:30–19:35 GMT
📍 Sheikh Zayed Theatre, The London School of Economics and Political Science (@LSEnews)
Speaker: Augustin Landier (HEC Paris) (@augustinlandier)
Chair: Amil Dasgupta (@LSEfinance & @FMG_LSE)

❓Why do smart investors make crazy decisions?
@FMG_LSE was delighted to host Alex Edmans on Monday night at the Old Theatre for a public lecture and book launch of The Madness of Markets: Why Smart Investors Make Crazy Decisions – and How to Exploit Them.📕
From overreaction and underreaction to overconfidence, Alex brought investor psychology to life with vivid examples of how our biases shape financial decisions and move markets.
A packed room, a lively discussion, and a diverse audience bringing fresh perspectives to the conversation!
👏 A huge thank you to @aedmans for an engaging and thought-provoking lecture, @peng_cameron for chairing, and to everyone who joined us!

📈 The Madness of Markets: why smart investors make crazy decisions – and how to exploit them
Why do investors chase AI stocks that bleed losses? Why do they ignore glaring opportunities hiding in plain sight? Why does the stock market fall after a football defeat, or rise on a sunny day?
Join us for this talk, based on a brand-new book, in which Professor Alex Edmans reveals how mood, emotion and social contagion lead even seasoned professionals to make irrational decisions.

I just gave the keynote at the European Finance Association Meetings. It was about how not to and how to do mechanism tests in empirical finance. Here are the slides. static1.squarespace.com/stat…
The amazing* Kalina Manova discusses her new paper about "tariff confusion." The evidence suggests that it had important effects on firm behavior. Highly recommended!
