Both Sides of the Coin: Markets and Sustainability - Interview with Christopher Yenkey

Student Reporter Lindsay Shafer sat down with Christopher Yenkey, Assistant Professor of Organizations and Strategy at the Unversity of Chicago Booth School of Business during the oikos UNDP Young Scholars Development Academy 2012 to discuss research and sustainability in emerging markets. Chris' research focuses on the construction of nascent financial markets in developing economies, specifically the establishment of the Kenyan stock exchange. A lot of previous fieldwork in emerging markets has asked the question: what are the determinents of creating markets? It was just assumed that a market would have outcomes. Now researchers are going further and looking at effects of these markets, how they are developed, how they benefit participants, and the implications of creating these markets. Asking these questions will help us to better understand market structures.
