P.R.I.C.E stands for Principles of Investment and Corporate Evaluation. Nested within HEC Liège – Management School of the University of Liège, the lab has been created in 2021 by Professor Marie Lambert as a “vitrine” of the teaching, research, and advisory activities conducted in the fields of empirical Corporate Finance and Asset Pricing.

The purpose of the lab is twofold.

Second, it aims at further disseminating to the scientific community the academic research conducted by the research group.
