Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Do Bond Investors Hedge Geopolitical Risk?’ on 10 June
The talk will be delivered by Prof. Prasad Hegde, Auckland University of Technology Business School
6 June, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Do Bond Investors Hedge Geopolitical Risk?’, to be led by Prof. Prasad Hegde, Auckland University of Technology Business School (Finance & Accounting area), at 12 pm on 10th June 2025, at Classroom-Q101.
Abstract: How corporate bond investors respond to geopolitical risk (GPR), is a question addressed by the researchers who analyze the relationship between firms’ sensitivity to GPR, or GPR beta, and subsequent bond returns. Fama-Macbeth cross-sectional regressions and robust fixed effects panel regressions show significant negative relationship between GPR beta and subsequent bond returns, implying that bonds with high covariance to GPR risk earn lower returns next period. The results are also economically significant, implying that a one-sigma increase in the geopolitical risk beta is associated with an 8% to 9% drop in annual bond returns. High GPR beta bonds generate higher returns during GPR stress periods thereby serving as effective hedging instruments and therefore earn negative premiums due to the hedging effect. The staggered difference-in-differences analyses further reveal that the hedging demand for high GPR-beta bonds is greater following periods of heightened geopolitical conflicts, and the results remain robust to placebo test.
Cross-sectionally, the researchers find that the risk premium as captured by the negative GPR beta bonds is larger for firms with high downside risk, and in times of high volatility and economic uncertainty, and for firms with higher international exposure, greater supply chain stress, and increased credit risk. The results are robust to various tests, including alternative GPR indices and GPR beta estimators, and inclusion of firm level political risk. Collectively, the findings imply that when fixed-income investors are concerned about GPR, they shift investments towards high GPR-beta bonds accepting lower returns to better hedge against geopolitical events, supporting the risk premium or hedging hypothesis.

9 June 2025, Bengaluru: As part of its initiative to promote the dissemination and application of knowledge for the benefit of academic and industry professionals, the Centre for Software and IT Management (CSITM) at IIM Bangalore will host a panel discussion on ‘Is AI the Doctor Now? Will It Shrink or Widen Global Health Gaps in the Algorithmic Age?’, on 27 June 2025, at 19:00 Hrs (IST).
The webinar is set to feature Prof. Rema Padman, Trustees Professor of Management Science and Healthcare Informatics, H. John Heinz III College of Information Systems and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University; Prof. Rahul De’, Independent Consultant & Researcher; Retired Professor of Information Systems & Former Dean (Programmes), IIM Bangalore; Prof. Niraj K. Jha, Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Princeton University; Prof. Vikram Tiwari, Professor of Anesthesiology, Biomedical Informatics, and Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine; Professor of Management, Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University.

Abstract:
In the algorithmic age of medicine, a pressing question emerges: Is AI the doctor now? While artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into healthcare systems—and has the potential to revolutionize diagnostics, treatment personalization, and public health messaging—it also raises urgent concerns about equity, sustainability, and reliability. Will the development of medical AI close healthcare gaps, or further widen global disparities? This webinar aims to explore these tensions and open a dialogue on the future of AI in medicine and its implications for global health.
Recent work in medical AI highlights the limitations of dominant top-down approaches, which rely on training extremely large multimodal language models with trillions of parameters. While these models perform well in many tasks, they often demand unsustainable energy resources and exhibit hallucinations in clinical settings. In contrast, new research supports bottom-up medical superintelligence—an approach that mimics the decentralized reasoning found in human societies. This includes ecosystems of interpretable AI assistants and self-managing agents based on counterfactual reasoning and enhanced with episodic memory, which have demonstrated improved accuracy and transparency in patient-specific decision-making.
Simultaneously, fine-tuned foundation models for specific medical modalities (e.g., text, signals, and images) have shown improved data efficiency, aligning with the World Health Organization’s revised guidelines for the responsible and ethical deployment of AI in healthcare.
The webinar will present a multidimensional vision of AI-enhanced healthcare, moving beyond monolithic AI systems toward collaborative, memory-rich agents embedded in real-world contexts. Topics will include AI’s impact on health literacy, digital therapeutics, and the augmentation (rather than replacement) of healthcare professionals. Participants will be invited to critically examine whether these innovations will narrow or widen global health disparities in the algorithmic age.

The conference is ideal for academicians, students, research scholars, policy practitioners, lawyers, NGO professionals and others with an interest in public policy.
The theme: ‘Rethinking State Capacity in Delivering Public Policy’
The modern state is anchored by regulations, schemes, organization and broadly, public policy, whose effectiveness is driven by the state’s capacity to deliver on its intentions. Development of theories and frameworks around State Capacity is an ongoing academic exercise. Building on State Capacity as a theoretical construct forces one to think about implementation issues, ex-ante, and if the same could be tackled by innovative design. Evidence around the world speaking of such innovations in State Capacity would be one way of looking at it. Monitoring, evaluating and learning from existing schemes, missions and programs and their lessons towards understanding existing State Capacity, could be another. State Capacity’s role in fostering economic and social development cannot be understated, but equally, the challenges of Politics and Political Economy need to be factored in while enunciating it.
From frameworks for expanding primary healthcare systems towards universal health coverage to strengthening informal labour markets, addressing climate change, advancing agriculture and financial inclusion, exploring pathways to a just transition in the face of socio-environmental changes, the exploration of State Capacity spans a wide array of critical themes. This conference welcomes papers and case studies tackling these issues, among others, building towards an ongoing corpus of literature in and around State Capacity in delivering Public Policy.

About the Conference
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the next big landscape, which is evolving at an exponential pace. Its versatility has percolated into the domain of Human Resources, where AI-powered tools are increasingly assisting professionals. However, alongside the promise of this disruption, the needs of the employees are evolving, making it imperative to rethink sustainability in HRM and help them navigate the impact. The 6th HRIC aims to redirect the conversations toward disruption in the industry and explore how HRM can be reimagined to equip employees with the right skills and mindset to navigate the major changes dictated by these disruptions. Previous HRIC conferences have been conducted in China, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa.
