Expertise

Professor Mahmoud is studying the microeconomic behavioral foundations as well as the macroeconomic empirical implications of sustainability in the financial market. In recent work, she identifies the direct impact channels of sustainability in the financial market that may have a positive, or negative, effect on the reduction, or increase, of inequality and poverty.
