And how does the portfolio risk concept influence these issues?
Excited to see my paper "The dark side of diversification: Passive finance and fossil-fuel investment" published in @finandsoc.bsky.social!

I'll spend the next 1½ in Copenhagen and Stockholm. I imagine that I’ll need a simple place for short stays in Stockholm. Do I know anyone who’s been in a similar situation, had a commuter room/apartment or other good arrangements? Do you have any advice, generally, & for finding somewhere to live?
