The second paper, "Gauging the Effect of Select Macroeconomic Variables on BSE 100 and Nifty 50", by Seema Rathee and Deepanshi Aggarwal, postulates that economic growth is fueled by a well-functioning capital market since it brings together a large number of monies. All readily available financial information and performance projections are represented by stock prices. The relationship between macroeconomic factors and stock prices has both intellectual and political ramifications. The goal of the study is to examine how certain macro factors affect the Indian stock market. The study concludes that GDP and GDP per capita have a major impact on Nifty 50 and the BSE 100.

In the third paper, "Effect of Demographics and Personality Traits on Risk Tolerance of Indian Investors", Deepali Malhotra opines that due to the high amount of uncertainty, a majority of Indians see investing in the equity markets as extremely risky. One of the key components of the investment process is risk. Past studies have questioned the logic of investors' judgments. They suggest that a person's level of risk tolerance can have a significant influence on their choice of investments as well as their investing horizons, patterns, and volume. The paper aims to find out how demographic characteristics like age, gender, and educational attainment affect Indian investors' degree of risk tolerance. The findings show that risk preferences are highly skewed among Indian investors as a whole based on their genders. Compared to older investors, younger ones have more risk apetite and higher risk tolerance levels.

In the fourth paper, "Russia-Ukraine War: An Opportunity Amid Crisis for Indian Investors", Subhajit Chakraborty and Pritha Sarkar state that any significant event anywhere in the world might have an impact on markets in other countries as well. As the war between Russia and Ukraine has intensified recently, Asian markets have been volatile, and oil prices have increased. The market is likely to suffer greater losses if the situation does not change because oil prices are expected to stay high. The purpose of the study is to illustrate how the current crisis has affected investor returns and investments. The authors suggest that although the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seriously disrupted the economy, it has also given the Indian businessmen enormous opportunities to grab assets at lower prices. Stock prices have dropped as a result of the current turmoil, greatly benefitting investors. Even if there is no immediate benefit, there is still hope for benefits when things return to normal in the near future.

In the research note, "Carbon Trading in India: Growth and Future", Sachita Yadav opines that human activities have led to an extremely harmful rise in carbon emission, and poor nations are most at risk if this situation is not altered. The paper examines the idea of carbon trading to find out whether it can aid in reducing carbon emissions in India. Carbon trading is a financial tool created to encourage enterprises to limit their carbon emissions to a certain level in exchange for cash rewards. A nation generates carbon credit if its emissions fall below the ceiling. The carbon trading market is where you can sell carbon credit. However, there are several obstacles to carbon trading, including poor governance, lack of cooperation from wealthier nations, technological issues, lack of clarity in carbon and climate policy, ineffective and inconsistent financial regulation, and ineffective financial disclosures connected to climate change. The author concludes that the abovementioned issues must be addressed immediately if sustainable growth is to be achieved.
