Lavinia Rognone is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Sustainable Finance at the University of Edinburgh Business School (UEBS), where she is part of the Centre for Business, Climate Change, and Sustainability (B-CCaS). She also serves as a visiting Research Fellow at the Qatar Centre for Global Banking & Finance (QCGBF) at King's College London and as an Associate Editor of the Research in International Business and Finance (RIBAF) journal.
Her educational background includes a PhD in Finance from Alliance Manchester Business School (2021), an M.Sc. in Finance from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden (2017), an M.Sc. in Finance & Banking from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy (2017), and a B.Sc. in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Rome III, Italy (2015).
Lavinia's research focuses on green/climate finance, asset pricing, FinTech, and text-analysis applications to finance. Her work explores the intersection of climate risks and financial markets, with particular attention to how climate-related information affects investment decisions and market dynamics. She has designed and constructed two daily text-based climate risk indicators - the Physical Risk Index (PRI) and Transition Risk Index (TRI) - which have applications in risk and portfolio management.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating climate risk metrics into traditional financial analysis, with increasing sophistication in text-based approaches to measuring climate risks. The research shows growing attention to ESG integration in investment decisions and the development of practical tools for measuring climate-related financial risks.
