Abstract

We predict and confirm that long-term institutional investors (LTIOs) play an important role in mitigating the negative market perceptions of US stocks following mainstream print media coverage of climate change. We observe a stronger effect of LTIOs for companies that lack corporate social responsibility and have less diverse and more co-opted boards. Overall, these findings indicate that the US equity market views LTIOs as effective monitors who can help guide companies facing climate risks toward a more sustainable trajectory.

长期机构投资者与气候变化新闻贝塔

我们预测并证实，长期机构投资者（LTIOs）在主流印刷媒体报道气候变化后，在减轻市场对美股的负面看法方面发挥了重要作用。我们发现，长期机构投资者对缺乏企业社会责任、董事会多元化程度较低、增选较多的公司的影响更大。总体而言，这些研究结果表明，美国股票市场认为长期投资回报顾问是有效的监督者，他们可以帮助引导面临气候风险的公司朝着更可持续的方向发展。
