about

Hello! I make songs and videos that use brutal heavy metal to teach basic personal finance and investing. A recent NBER working paper has received attention recently. It argues that sustainable investments have outperformed during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. This conclusion, if sound, would be groundbreaking. The paper was clearly written to a high research standard. But I still have a few comments and questions about how the authors arrived at their conclusion.

The original article is here: www.nber.org/papers/w27551

I learned of the paper on an NPR Marketplace segment, which you can listen to here:
