Panelists
Yair Listokin is Deputy Dean and the Shibley Family Fund Professor of Law at Yale Law School. His scholarship studies tax law, corporate law, bankruptcy law, contract law, and the law of central banking. His research emphasizes a macroeconomic perspective that differs dramatically from the microeconomic perspective that dominates law and economics. He recently co-authored a paper called “Valuing ESG,” arguing that translating non-pecuniary ESG goals into dollar values will enable ESG to fulfill its promise.
Madison Condon is an Associate Professor at Boston University School of Law and an expert on climate change, financial risk, and regulation. Her research has been relied upon by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Department of Labor in rulemakings. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology pointed to her work criticizing financial models in its recommendations for managing extreme weather risk. In 2023, Professor Condon joined the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment Academy Network Advisory Committee.
