Jordi Blanes i Vidal from LSE will present “The Effect of Advisors’ Incentives on Clients’ Investments”. Though it’s in the theory seminar given its IO/contracts nature, the paper’s contents are highly and mostly empirical, and finance and macro-flavored, as you can tell from the abstract and attached paper. All faculty and students are welcome.
