Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration Sustainability-linked loans (SLLs) link loan pricing to sustainability performance targets (SPTs) and are intended to reward compliant firms with cheaper capital. Yet evidence shows little reduction in borrowing spreads, mixed sustainability outcomes, larger loan sizes, and adoption concentrated among firms with low ESG risk; regulators also question incentive strength and target ambition. We ask how SLL incentives operate, why standard contracts lose effectiveness in competitive credit markets, and how they should be redesigned to preserve participation while achieving the highest sustainability level supported by consumer willingness to pay. We develop a production–financing model in which sustainability investment raises consumer willingness to pay and production cost, while external borrowing creates a financing wedge. We show that standard SLLs operate through coercive, penalty-based commitment rather than cheaper capital: the discounted rate equals the ordinary-loan rate, while a high regular rate penal… Subtitle: On the (In)Efficiency of Sustainability-Linked Loans.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Using U.S. Census Bureau matched employer-employee data, we provide the first direct empirical evidence that firms’ intangible investments raise their employees’ portable human capital, designating these firms as “human capital incubators.” We introduce a model where workers’ preferences for skill development shape labor supply, giving incubators a labor market advantage and an additional motive to invest in intangibles. Consistent with the model, incubation correlates positively with firm profitability, market power, and inflows of young workers. For top-tercile incubators, the present value of incubation is worth about 13% of firm value: roughly 43% of this value is internalized by incubating firms as wage savings, while 57% accrues as a spillover to workers and downstream employers. The aggregate externality across the whole distribution is worth 7% of total income. In a counterfactual equilibrium where workers cannot differentially price firms’ incubation capacity, diminished investment incentives lead to… Subtitle: Investing in Human Capital Incubation.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We build a novel property-level database of U.S. datacenter mortgages, an opaque AI-buildout financing channel. Linking mortgages to lender balance sheets, we document a concentrated market dominated by distribution-oriented (OTD) lenders. The gap in property-level leverage between High-OTD and other lenders widens roughly fourfold after 2021. High-OTD lenders expand lending to undiversified datacenter borrowers, whose revenues are concentrated in datacenter capacity. The leverage increase operates through larger loans rather than larger properties and is larger in point estimates for these borrowers. These patterns are consistent with looser underwriting by distribution-oriented lenders and greater exposure to AI-demand risk. Subtitle: Datacenter Mortgages and the Originate-to-Distribute Model.

MAF Infosessions Can Carbon Markets Save the World? High Finance, Geopolitics, and the Trillion-Dollar Race to Price the Planet Can markets help solve the climate crisis?
