About this episode

The episode discusses insights from modern asset pricing research and its implications for understanding financial markets.

In this episode of Risk and Return, Esade’s Associate Professor André Souza talks about the insights from the Spring Workshop on Asset Pricing 2025. Drawing on cutting-edge academic research, the conversation explores how policy signals, inflation shocks, social media communication, and institutional trading shape asset prices in real time. The discussion offers a richer view of financial markets—one where prices emerge from the interaction of diverse investors operating under uncertainty and constraints. It also reflects on what these insights mean for how we research, understand, and teach finance today. Hosted by Omar Rachedi . Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
