Episode 16: The hidden cost of capital - investor perspectives on Human Sustainability with Juan Palacios
“The way that we think about this in economics is around the notion of externality. That’s one of the long-standing concepts in the discipline of economics and finance, and this is still one of the most important issues that we deal with today. Externalities relates to ''what do my actions generate for others''? This could be positive or it could be negative.''
In this 16th episode of the Sustainable Human Podcast, our host Linda Jarnhamn talks to Juan Palacios, an assistant professor at Maastricht University School of Business and Economics and currently a visiting assistant Professor at the MIT Center for Real Estate.
Together they will explore questions around:
- Changing investor attitudes with regards to human sustainability
- Pricing of externalities for the cost of capital (and brain capital)
- Why average buildings are struggling (both with tenants and valuations)
