Join us for a special evening at the University of Zurich with one of the world’s leading economists, The Nobel Prize laureate Oliver Hart of Harvard University. He will take us on a thought-provoking journey to the heart of his research: the evolving relationship between investors, corporations, and society. Register now → https://lnkd.in/e2KWSCcu From climate change to artificial intelligence, corporations shape many of the most pressing challenges of our time. Yet the people who ultimately own these companies – the investors – rarely have a direct voice in the decisions that matter most. In his lecture, Hart will explore this tension and whether investors themselves – as citizens – should play a more active role in shaping corporate behavior. ⭐️ What responsibility do shareholders have when companies influence climate change, technological disruption, or public health? ⭐️ Can investors balance financial returns with broader societal concerns? ⭐️ And could a new model of “citizen investors” reshape how corporations are governed in the future? #EconomicsForSociety #UZH #shareUBS University of Zurich UBS UZH Department of Economics UZH Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics

UBS Foundation Professor Ralph Ossa introduces our new UBS Center Public Paper on the multilateral trading system with an overview of what to expect.

Join us to an evening at the University of Zurich with one of today’s most influential thinkers on law, behavioral economics, and public policy: Cass Sunstein. He is The New York Times best-selling co-author of Nudge and served as advisor under the Obama administration. Register now → https://lnkd.in/dzbX6K3T In his work, Sunstein explores how rules, institutions, and human behavior shape freedom and democracy – and what happens when these foundations are challenged. In Europe, the term liberal has been claimed by many political actors, blurring its meaning. In the U.S., liberal values are under attack from both sides. Sunstein invites us to explore the principles that sustain open societies – freedom, opportunity, and tolerance –, and reconsider what liberalism truly stands for. Please note: This is a free, public event. Your ticket does not guarantee a seat in the auditorium. Access will be granted to registered guests on a first-come, first-served basis. A livestream and recording will be available on our YouTube channel. #EconomicsForSociety #UZH #shareUBS University of Zurich UBS UZH Department of Economics UZH Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics
