Expertise
Professor Ramelli is focusing on how inflation impacts firm valuation, as inflation can significantly undermine a firm's relationships with its customers, employees, and other stakeholders by triggering a crisis of distrust. Recent US data shows that during a month of high inflation, equity investors rewarded firms with stronger corporate social responsibility (CSR) levels. Further results show that the inflation-hedging property of CSR is stronger in regions exposed to the "corporate greed" narrative of inflation, as well as for firms with higher customer awareness. Overall, these findings spotlight inflation as a crisis in stakeholder trust and provide new insights into the importance of social capital for firm value.
