In recent years, the rise of green bonds has provided a promising financing mechanism in climate change mitigation efforts, and studies investigating this market have revealed the notion of a 'green premium' or 'greenium' within green bond pricing. But, how prevalent is the existence of a green premium in the green bond market and how do ESG factors influence investor behavior and the pricing of green bonds compared to traditional bonds? On this episode of Eco Money, Stefen Macaskill, Research Fellow at the Griffith Business School, and Energy Management Planning Engineer at the Council of the City of Gold Coast, Australia shares his insights.

There's been a growing uptick in corporations ditching their green ambitions. Volvo Cars has abandoned its ambitious target to sell only electric cars by 2030 amid a global slowdown in growth for battery-powered vehicles. Sweden has recently scrapped their aviation tax on airline tickets in a bid to reduce prices and boost availability. Griffith Business School associate professor Dr Rob Hales says more businesses have decided to keep their targets quiet amid accusations of green-washing. "Green-hushing is keeping your targets and keeping the mechanisms to try and get there a bit quiet. There's been some industry studies to show that up to 25 percent of businesses are actually disclosing, in public, what their targets are."

After Boris Johnson announced his resignation as prime minister, he was widely described as leading a ‘caretaker government'. But this episode has highlighted that the conventions surrounding such governments are far from clear in the UK. What are the UK's caretaker conventions? When do they apply? Should the existing conventions be clarified, codified, or reformed? If so, what lessons might be learned from experience in other countries? A distinguished panel will discuss these timely questions.Speakers:Lord (Gus) O'Donnell is a crossbench peer who served as Cabinet Secretary from 2005 to 2011, and oversaw the drafting of the UK's Cabinet Manual.Lord (Gavin) Barwell is a Conservative peer who worked as Theresa May's Downing Street Chief of Staff from 2017 to 2019, including a similar ‘caretaker' period following her own resignation as prime minister.Professor Anne Tiernan is an Adjunct Professor at the Griffith Business School, and the co-author of Caretaker Conventions in Australasia: Minding the Shop for Government.Chair: Professor Meg Russell, Director of the Constitution UnitUseful reading:Caretaker Conventions in Australasia: Minding the Shop for Government by Jennifer Menzies and Anne TiernanChief of Staff by Gavin BarwellMust a caretaker government be a zombie government? by Robert HazellCabinet Manual, paras 2.27 to 2.34

Like the octopus she sees herself to be, Griffith Business School's Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation Naomi Birdthistle has spread her tentacles worldwide in support of women entrepreneurs. Her passion for entrepreneurship started at home, supporting her family business. Now Naomi has multiple projects on the go, in the same way as the women she supports to find the confidence to go on to their next level of success. Naomi's work with women in business has led to incredible research output, with more than a dozen book chapters and more than 50 research papers about managing and developing sustainable development goals. She does this by enabling women to overcome what she describes as “the insular narrative”, to stop holding themselves back, and instead identify when they are entrepreneurs and wear that badge proudly.  Her main goal now is to stop the Australian government from lagging behind other countries, and instead provide more targeted support to entrepreneurial women.

A conversation on fiscal stimulus and the government spending multiplier with Professor Fabrizio Carmignani, Dean (Academic) of Griffith Business School. Fabrizio and Economics Explored host Gene Tunny discuss: how the size of the multiplier (and the degree of crowding out) varies with the state of the economy;how vouchers might be a more effective stimulus than cash handouts;how governments really do need to run surpluses (or only very small deficits) when the economy recovers so the debt-to-GDP ratio can be stabilised and reduced in the long-term; andhow Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) isn't a theory, nor is it modern.Links relevant to the conversation include:Does Government Expenditure Multiply Output and Employment in Australia?Fiscal Multipliers in Recession and ExpansionHow Much Did the 2009 Australian Fiscal Stimulus Boost Demand?

Host, Professor Renee Jeffery chats to Elise Stephenson, PhD Candidate, School of Government and International Relations, Griffith Business School about her creative projects and research in the region. Rising global challenges and a changing academic landscape led Elise Stephenson to launch into entrepreneurship the same year she commenced her PhD, in 2017. Whilst running major international events across South East Asia with the Australian Government, Elise has pursued an ambitious research agenda to understand women’s under-representation in international affairs, across spheres of diplomacy, defence and security. This conversation explores Elise’s career, thesis, and work in ASEAN on public diplomacy programs as part of Australia now. The notion of ‘antifragility’ – of thriving from uncertainty – is at the forefront of Elise’s academic approach and is particularly relevant given the ambiguous times ahead, allowing her to combine creative projects with high impact research to make the most of working in the region.

Many people work towards their dream of creating and steering their own company. But not many achieve that only a few short years after graduating. Griffith University Masters of International Business graduate Jacob Hansen Karaduman hopes to help change that, and inspire others to follow his entrepreneurial footsteps. He has shaken up the Scandinavian loan industry as co-founder and director of fin-tech company Enklare, which now employs around 150 people. On this episode of Remarkable Tales podcast, he tells how it all started from his belief in making the loan application process fairer and more accessible to all, particularly young people. Jacob’s entrepreneurial skills were recently recognised with Griffith Business School’s Outstanding International Alumnus Award, and he now travels the world mentoring other young startups and entrepreneurs.

Today, experts reveal the tips and tricks spin doctors use to shape the political messages you’re hearing every day - especially during election campaigns. AAP Image/Mick TsikasIt’s February, the holidays seem like a distant memory and here we are barrelling toward a federal election, which the government has indicated will be in May. Remember in the olden days – as in, a few elections ago – we used to have a fairly set election campaign period of usually about six weeks? Now, of course, politicians seem to always be in campaign mode. They’re not doing that all by themselves, of course. There’s a small army of spin doctors, social media strategists, political campaign advisers and press secretaries behind the scenes, finessing every utterance so it fits with the overall campaign strategy. And that’s what we are talking about on the podcast today – the art of political spin. Read more: It's reputation that matters when spin doctors go back to the newsroom We’ll hear from Caroline Fisher, political communication and journalism researcher from the University of Canberra. She began her career as a journalist with the ABC, but went on to work as a media adviser for Labor’s Anna Bligh, a former Queensland premier. Today, she’s talking to Michelle Grattan, political journalist and Professorial Fellow at the University of Canberra about the tips and tricks spin doctors use to shape the political messages you’re hearing every day. And you can read Caroline Fisher’s article on the spin tactics over here. Read more: The vomit principle, the dead bat, the freeze: how political spin doctors' tactics aim to shape the news All year round and especially during election season, you’re going to hear a lot of competing claims about the state of the economy. Has school funding been cut or is it at a record high? Do tax cuts make the economy better or worse? Why are the government and the opposition saying seemingly contradictory things about debt and deficits? To find out, Lucinda Beaman – who was our FactCheck editor but has just moved to the ABC – spoke to Fabrizio Carmignagni, a professor of economics at the Griffith Business School, Griffith University. He’s authored many FactCheck articles for The Conversation, where he tests statements by key public figures against the evidence and his special super power is pulling back the curtain to reveal why certain claims you hear about the economy don’t stand up to scrutiny. Today, Professor Carmignani reveals why you should be suspicious when you hear a politician claim their government has created jobs, how to spot a bit of causation vs correlation spin doctoring, and other political porkies that make economists’ skin crawl.

In this episode of Remarkable Tales, we hear about how the 2018 Commonwealth Games were not only an event for athletic excellence but also for the thousands who volunteered their time and effort to make the games one of the best in history. But how do we judge the volunteer effort? That is the focus of a Griffith Business School research project led by Dr Liz Fredline at the Department of Tourism, Sport and Hotel Management.

A number that’s commonly known is the 60% turnover of staff. But the question is what about the other 40%? Why are they staying? Today we’re joined be Dr Katrina Radford, Deptuty Director of Research at Griffith Business School and the Centre for Work Organisation and Wellbeing (https://experts.griffith.edu.au/academic/k.radford and athttps://www.orchardtalent.com.au/blog) We talk about her research into why staff stay and leave (how it was done, main findings, reasons people stay, and the surprises... what wasn’t much of a factor) What’s great about this interview is that it’s easy to make the link between research and practice - rethinking staffing models, reward & recognition, and dealing with grief.

Justin Lane/AAPWhen Katherine Hunt’s dad asked her whether or not he should invest in Bitcoin, alarm bells rang, first she thought “he’s a musician”. Hunt is a lecturer in accounting at the Griffith Business School, and as someone who knows the five stages of a bubble and crash, she was worried when it seemed everyone was thinking they needed to “get in on” Bitcoin. “The stock market is a manifestation of the psychology of everyone who is investing, so of course there is going to be these crazy stages,” Hunt says. There is a boom, as momentum behind a new stock or asset speeds up and the media starts to cover it, fuelling its price rise. Then the euphoria sets in, the value of the asset skyrockets and people start to make a profit. But looming around the corner is the panic. Investors feel the last phase of a crash far more than they do the elation of the price rising, Hunt says. Panic breeds more panic and the price falls. Hunt is seeing this pattern play out with the stocks of the more well known gig economy businesses like Airbnb and Uber. These businesses now enjoy the privilege of being the only, or one of a few of their kind, in the marketplace. But Hunt says this can’t last. “In an open market that’s not the case at all, there’s always going to be competition and these companies will fall. It’s just probably that they’ll fall in 30 or 40 years, not necessarily tomorrow,” she says. Of course this is all easier to see in hindsight. Remembering the global financial crisis John Crosby, now a senior lecturer in finance at the University of Technology Sydney, was once working as an investment banker at Lloyds of London in 2007 when he noticed a news story on losses financial services company HSBC was reporting from its subprime mortgages. “I thought, that could be quite bad,” Crosby recalls. At the time volatility was low and it seemed like everything was going along fine. But Crosby overheard a coworker who looked after the banks’ various branches asking people to move any sums to deposit to London. “That wasn’t normal right? It was perfectly normal that you did business with anybody you wanted to, unless there was a real credit risk issue with the bank,” he says. Crosby realises now that his coworker knew other banks were carrying toxic debt that would eventually kick off the global financial crisis. When it came to 2008 the real problems became clear and it was more of a question of which bank would fall next, he says. “People were way too complacent before the crisis and then during the crisis it’s one of blind panic, thinking everyday things are going to get worse. Whereas in reality there was light at the end of the tunnel,” Crosby says. By then Crosby was working at financial services company UBS and thousands of people were being laid off. In 2009 the company decided to hire half of those employees back. Past theories about what causes crashes The benefit of hindsight also shows what sort of speculation leads to market crashes. Before crashes were well understood, economists had to grapple with what they thought might be causing a crash. In the 19th century, economist William Stanley Jevons believed that sunspots (hyperactive radiation on the sun) could be the key to understanding crashes. “He was interested to find out that the cycle of sunspots was very similar…as the trade cycle back on earth,” says Simon Ville, a professor of economic and business history at the University of Wollongong. Of course this theory was later discredited, but there have been bubbles over some very ordinary assets in the past. Ville explains that tulips were at the centre of the first market bubble and crash in recorded history. Tulips became high fashion in the Netherlands, in the early 17th century, but because it took a while for these plants to grow it was very much like the future markets we see today in modern finance. “That inevitably creates a sense of uncertainty and a sense of speculation, ‘what are you actually buying? Will you get the full value of what you’re paying for?’,” Ville says. Of course people started paying more and more for tulips, until it took someone’s life savings to buy one bulb. Ultimately there was a point where euphoria turned to panic and the climate changed from optimism to pessimism. This is when the price crashed, and the bubble burst.
