Abstract

This study examines the broader U.S. green bond market, with focus on its association with the U.S traditional equity market from 2016–2021. For this purpose, we use the S&P Green Bond Index, the S&P U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the S&P 500 to build the connection between the markets based on both univariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and multivariate vector autoregression (VAR) models. Our empirical results show that the patterns of returns and the volatility behavior of green bonds included significant changes over the years of study. The findings highlight the importance of the emergence and evolution of the promising green bonds market, thus providing useful policy implications for portfolio and risk management as well as asset pricing. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the impact of green bonds on equity markets.

本研究探讨了更广泛的美国绿色债券市场，重点关注其在 2016-2021 年间与美国传统股票市场的关联。为此，我们使用 S&P 绿色债券指数、S&P 美国综合债券指数和 S&P 500 指数，基于单变量广义自回归条件异方差（GARCH）和多变量向量自回归（VAR）模型，建立市场之间的联系。我们的实证结果表明，绿色债券的收益模式和波动行为在研究期间发生了显著变化。研究结果凸显了前景广阔的绿色债券市场出现和演变的重要性，从而为投资组合和风险管理以及资产定价提供了有益的政策启示。本研究有助于加深理解绿色债券对股票市场的影响。
