IIPM & Yale has set up joint venture related to confidence index in India

The Investor Behavior Project in India conducted by joint venture of IIPM and Yale University. As part of this study, regular questionnaire investor attitude surveys would be done. The objective of this study is to accumulate information to expand confidence index internationally. The entire study would be divided in three parts:

First Part:
The first part will be identical to accumulate data from investors which will allow us to embark on a number of important cross sectional studies.

Second Part:
The second part will consist of 8-9 questions which will relate mostly to “confidence” of investors to the corporate governance code of the country. These questions will be identical to all the countries that we will operate the surveys. Again, this will allow for cross sectional studies and possibly allow us to understand similarities and differences among institutional and individual investors in different regions of the world.

Third Part:
The last part of the questionnaire will consist of 4-5 questions that will be “region” or “country” specific. Thus, the questionnaire that will be distributed in India will include questions related to the Indian economy. We hope that this part will allow for important county specific studies.
