Abstract
We employ the green revenue factors of firms, used in the computation of the FTSE Russell 1000 Green Revenues index to create corresponding green-adjusted share prices. We compute the firm betas, under both the standard and the green-adjusted share pricing. Our findings suggest that tilting of firm stock returns towards green finance could change temporarily asset pricing views. The Fama-French risk factors display very high correlations between the two settings. Nevertheless, there are some significant differences between standard and green-adjusted betas during periods associated with green activism and positive political decisions of financially supporting the global climate action.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Financial Stability provides an international forum for rigorous theoretical and empirical macro and micro economic and financial analysis of the causes, management, resolution and preventions of financial crises, including banking, securities market, payments and currency crises. The primary focus is on applied research that would be useful in affecting public policy with respect to financial stability. Thus, the Journal seeks to promote interaction among researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to identify potential risks to financial stability and develop means for preventing, mitigating or managing these risks both within and across countries.
