Decoding Financial Risk: Insights from Science
Paolo Sodini
Professor, Department of Finance, SSE
Director of MiDa – the Institute for Micro Data at SSE & SHoF
Paolo's research focuses on Household Finance, the field of Financial Economics that studies how households use financial markets to achieve their goals. He has studied the welfare consequences of household financial mistakes, such as portfolio diversification and rebalancing, and the importance of sophistication in limiting financial losses. He has also worked on the determinants of welfare inequality, in particular on the role of savings, financial risk-taking and returns to wealth. His latest research focuses on real estate markets and explores the impact of homeownership on household economic behaviour and gender differences in the housing market.
