UN PRME Representative for the University of St Andrews Business School

The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 that aims to raise the profile of sustainability in business and management education through Seven Principles focused on serving society and safeguarding our planet. As a representative one of my main responsibilities is producing the Business School Progress Report.

International Banking Library

During my PhD, I have supported Lena Tonzer in updating and maintaining the IBL Website and preparing the quarterly newsletter. 

"The International Banking Library is a web-based platform for the exchange of research on cross-border banking. It provides access to data sources, academic research, both theoretical and empirical on cross-border banking, as well as information on regulatory initiatives. The International Banking Library is associated with the International Banking Research Network (IBRN), a research network of Central Banks worldwide."

European Banking Union Directives Database and European Capital Market Database

A positive spillover of my research on the European Banking Union and the harmonization of EU capital markets is a collection of implementation dates by country of the main directives implementing the EBU as well as a database of legislative acts implementing the 2015 Capital Markets Union action plan.

The European Banking Union directives database is available in excel and stata formats here. A description of the data and collection process is included in the appendix to our paper: How Do EU Banks' Funding Costs Respond to the CRD IV? An Assessment Based on the Banking Union Directives Database, with Thomas Krause, Lena Tonzer, and Cristina Zgherea, Journal of Financial Stability, Forthcoming 

A note on the implementation of the Capital Markets Union is available here along with the data files in excel and stata formats. 

Climate finance data sources

For those interested in working on climate finance, here is a collection of data sources on physical and transition risks that have been used in recent studies or are available for future ones. 

I am always looking to update this list and expand it, so if you know other sources let me know!
