Created and managed by the Social Finance TIG, the Social Finance Primer consolidates existing literature and provides both AEA members and external parties with background on the topic of social finance and the interplay between social impact and financial returns of investments.
This guide is aimed at evaluators who are new to social finance and are curious to understand more about evaluators' evolving role in this ecosystem. This primer provides readers with a short overview of the field as well as links to articles and resources useful to evaluators who want to learn more about the field and the work of the Social Finance TIG.
