Abstract

Using data from forty-six developed and emerging markets, we show that a world-based environmental, social, and governance index (ESGI) provides useful information about future economic activity in- and out-of-sample. A relatively high increase in ESGI predicts a decrease (increase) in future economic activity in the short (long) term. We document that the environmental, social, and governance components of ESGI contribute to the predictability of economic activity. Our results have significant implications for policymakers to advise firms to adopt better ESG practices.

世界环境、社会和公司治理绩效与经济活动
利用来自 46 个发达市场和新兴市场的数据,我们表明,基于全球的环境、社会和治理指数(ESGI)提供了有关样本内和样本外未来经济活动的有用信息。环境、社会和治理指数的相对较高增幅可预测未来短期(长期)经济活动的减少(增加)。我们发现,ESGI 中的环境、社会和治理要素有助于预测经济活动。我们的研究结果对政策制定者建议企业采用更好的 ESG 实践具有重要意义。

The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • International financial markets • International securities markets • Foreign exchange markets • Eurocurrency markets • International syndications • Term structures of Eurocurrency rates • Determination of exchange rates • Information, speculation and parity • Forward rates and swaps • International payment mechanisms • International commercial banking; • International investment banking • Central bank intervention • International monetary systems • Balance of payments.
