"Preference Distortion through Sustainability Consulting. Evidence from a Choice Experiment" by Markus Sidki

Topic

The lecture examines how EU MiFID II sustainability preference assessments influence investor decisions in practice. Based on a choice experiment with nearly 1,800 participants in Germany, the study explores whether sustainability assessments truly capture investor preferences or actively shape them. It also analyses how different advisory approaches affect sustainable investment choices and discusses the implications for financial regulation and sustainable finance policy.
