Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paula Castro's research investigates the intersection of corporate finance, environmental performance, and institutional factors. Her work examines how a firm's transition to a low-carbon economy influences its financial health, specifically focusing on the distance to default and the relationship between carbon performance and financial debt. Castro has explored the impact of environmental performance on stock prices within green and innovative contexts, and how a firm's life cycle stage modifies the connection between carbon performance and financial obligations. Additionally, her research considers the moderating role of patriarchal attitudes on the relationship between women on boards and firm economic performance, and the effects of financial restrictions on firms' resilience during economic crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic in the European hospitality industry. Her recent work extends to the impact of physical climate risks on agricultural firms' bankruptcy.
