Abstract
The paper studies the association between climate risk and bank stability. Using an international sample of 6433 commercial banks in 109 countries between 2005 and 2019, we illustrate that increased climate risk leads to decreased bank stability. These findings are robust to alternative bank stability measures and after controlling for endogeneity by an instrumental variable and system GMM approach. Further analysis shows that the negative impact of climate risk on bank stability is more pronounced in small banks and banks that have low capital. In addition, we also find better institutional governance, bank supervision, and regulations can eliminate the adverse impact of climate risk. Our results are neither determined by the effect of the financial crisis nor by the heterogeneity of different regions. Overall, our findings add a novel determinant of bank stability globally.
期刊介绍:
International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
