Jörg Stahl

Jörg Stahl serves as Associate Professor at Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics, Catholic University of Portugal, where his research bridges corporate finance and political economy through empirical analysis of political-corporate interactions.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Economics, Finance and Management from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
• MSc in Economics from Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Stahl's work critically examines political determinants of corporate behavior, specializing in how electoral shifts, government proximity, and cross-border political access alter firm valuation and policy decisions. His methodology combines historical natural experiments with rigorous econometric techniques to isolate causal political effects on financial markets.

Analysis of his 2020-2024 publications reveals a concentrated research trajectory exploring political connectivity's financial implications across Swiss, EU, and US contexts. Key thematic clusters include electoral reform consequences, geographic advantage in political access, and crisis-driven corporate policy adaptations, consistently demonstrating how political environments fundamentally reshape financial decision-making.
