Sustainable Financial Markets

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability plays a key role in the development of new policies and regulations for stock markets. Investors, regulators, and private companies must work together to improve corporate transparency in financial markets, and account for comparability measures across different markets. New approaches for including ethical issues in the development of artificially intelligent agents should be also considered, along with a proper modeling of investment decisions and the development of innovative and effective financial instruments for investors. This Special Issue will gather original research in the field of sustainable financial markets, and how participants are integrating environmental, social, and governance criteria into investment decisions. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following: ethical exchange, price setting, ethical public offerings, supporting start-up finance, social and environmental criteria in investments, trading markets strategies, automated strategies for derivatives, foreign exchange market, social trading, sustainable investments, fintech, green banking, and sustainable crowdfunding.
