ICMA Centre academics collaborate with Climate Bonds Initiative on first Green Bond Investor Survey

The ICMA Centre – Henley Business School will be hosting the 2013 European Financial Management Association (EFMA) annual meeting on 26-29 June. The conference program includes 252 research papers that will be presented by authors from 36 countries and 5 continents. Among the 84 parallel sessions that will take place over the 4 days of the conference, 4 will be completely dedicated to the financial crisis, 5 on bank management and regulation, 4 on risk management and related issues and 12 on corporate governance and management compensation. Other topics that will be discussed at the meetings, which span all areas of finance, are portfolio management and asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, commodities, behavioural finance, currency markets and exchange rates, derivative securities pricing and hedging and law, ethics and finance.

A new research study by Professors Adrian Bell & Chris Brooks at the Henley Business School’s ICMA Centre has found that there is no link between any measure of student satisfaction in the National Student Survey (NSS) and the percentage of staff who hold formal teaching qualifications such as membership of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), although the authors noted a paucity of available data on this variable.
