This interactive session will help attendees understand how they can get engaged in research on Competitive Strategy and Climate Change, what types of actions companies take and risks they experience, and what explains some of the heterogeneity among firms. We will have three junior scholars -- Xia Li (LBS), Leo Pongeluppe (Wharton) and Angie Fairchild (Indiana) -- who will highlight the trade-offs that firms face when addressing climate change, how they adapt to the threats posed by climate change, and how their actions may differ from those of the public sector. They will discuss empirical and conceptual issues involved in this type of research: from building a novel dataset and using climate science data to key methods that may help categorize firm actions and expose the disconnect between what firms say they do and what they actually do to decarbonize. Bring your questions and be ready to engage with our panelists. We hope to encourage practically relevant research at this intersection! Pls register here.
