Mariassunta Giannetti gets new professorship financing

nov. 09, 2022

SHoF’s Mariassunta Giannetti has been appointed the Katarina Martinson Professor of Finance at Stockholm School of Economics’ School of Business, Economics and Law.

Mariassunta Giannetti has been awarded the position for her research on corporate governance and finance. Particularly on how both formal structures, such as laws and regulations, and informal structures, such as culture and social norms, affect corporate finance, investor behavior, and economic and financial integration.  

Giannetti has been Professor of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics since December 2008. Retaining her at the school was important, both to maintain its competitive edge and to strengthen Sweden’s role in decision-making when it comes to issues of financial economics on the global stage, president of the Stockholm School of Economics, Lars Strannegård, said.  

"If Sweden and the School of Business, Economics and Law are to remain competitive, we need more diversity within academia, especially at the professor level,” Strannegård said in a statement. “Donations like this are crucial to be able to maintain a high standard in financial research and teaching, and thereby strengthen Sweden's competitiveness internationally”.  

Professor Giannetti holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and completed her B.A. and M.Sc. at Bocconi University. She is a research fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research and a research associate at the European Corporate Governance Institute. She was also a recipient of the European Central Bank (ECB) Lamfalussy Research Fellowship and the ECB Duisenberg Fellowship 

"I have always been interested in studying how reducing frictions and fragmenting financial markets can strengthen the European Union's operability. As the holder of this professorship, I believe that I will contribute to more functional markets in the bloc," Giannetti said. 

Donor Katarina Martinson is one of the owners of Swedish investment firm Lundbergs, and is an alumnus of the Stockholm School of Economics. 

"The Stockholm School of Economics educates many of Sweden's future leaders, both in business and in important societal functions. This requires that both teaching and research can continue to be world-class,” Martinson said. “I am pleased to be able to contribute to retaining Mariassunta Giannetti's important competence in Sweden”.  

Stockholm School of Economic’s department of finance is part of the Swedish House of Finance— a non-profit, non-partisan organization, funded by the Swedish government and the private financial sector.
