Shawn Cole, Professor at Harvard Business School, and Robert Gertner, Professor at Chicago Booth, join host and Vice Dean of the Wharton Social Impact Initiative Katherine Klein to discuss the Impact Finance Database—a joint effort of HBS, Booth, and Wharton to dramatically increase the pace and scope of academic research on impact investing. Cole, Gertner, and Klein discuss the data they are collecting and the insights they hope to create. As researchers, they discuss the importance of being “honest brokers” to communicate what claims are or are not true in the field of impact investing.
