“…Topics around investments, risk, and return are also topics that are not just of concern to Abacus , but form part of a wider debate around investment choices and associated risks. Recent years have seen a heightened attention to stock market volatility and concerns around stock market crashes (e.g., Abedifar et al ., 2019; Chowdhury et al ., forthcoming; Habib et al ., 2018; Jin et al ., 2019; Kim et al ., 2019; Lin et al ., forthcoming; Park et al ., 2019; Wang et al ., forthcoming), as well as enterprise risks management more broadly (e.g.. Ardiana et al ., 2019; Gong and Subramaniam, 2020; Jia, 2019; Jia and Bradbury, 2020, forthcoming; Jia and Munro, 2019; Johnston and Soileau, 2020; Malik et al ., 2020). As evident from the broader literature within the field, there is also a strong focus on environmental and social risks and the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as well as environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors to mitigate those risks, with the view that companies need to respond to changed environmental risks (e.g., Daugaard, 2020; Jagoda and Wojcik, 2019; Li et al ., 2019, Li et al ., 2020; Lin et al ., 2019; Luo and Tang, forthcoming; Shafer and Szado, forthcoming).…”
