This book aims to enrich the banking and finance literature by gathering insights in new research topics being undertaken in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. The book spans all the major research fields in finance and banking with a particular focus on corporate governance, sustainability and innovation.

The book brings together academics at a range of European universities and stems from research presented at the 2022 Annual Conference of the Wolpertinger Club.
