Kunal Sachdeva

Kunal Sachdeva is an Assistant Professor of Finance and the Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Faculty Fellow at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, and a faculty affiliate of the Erb Institute.

He studies how firms and financial markets respond to environmental regulation and climate risk — and whether those responses are real. Recent work asks whether shareholder campaigns actually cut pollution, whether large corporations report their emissions accurately, and how credit and governance shape what firms do.

His research is published or forthcoming in the Journal of Financial Economics, the Review of Financial Studies, Management Science, and Nature Climate Change, and has been recognized with the Moskowitz Prize for socially responsible investing research and the Arnold M. and Linda T. Jacob Faculty Fellow Award.

He was previously on the finance faculty at Rice, holds a PhD in Finance from Columbia Business School, and worked at BlackRock and Bloomberg before academia.
