The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Swedish Climate Leap Program, which differs from most other programs through the multisector approach. We examine determinants of project approval and evaluate the heterogeneity in implicit carbon pricing across sectors. Several econometric methods are used to assess equality in carbon pricing. Results show that although the cost-effectiveness ratio plays an important role in project approval, carbon pricing differs significantly across project types. Project guidelines favor charging stations and transport measures that aid in adopting new technology and reaching economies of scale. However, the preference for transport measures is not reflected in the carbon pricing while instead energy conversion measures have a higher probability of being funded given the cost-effectiveness of the investment. Funding decisions favor densely populated municipalities, which could be motivated for investments in public goods, but is questionable for transport and housing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100051"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green securitizations are financial instruments for which there are currently no universally accepted definitions or standard methodologies to identify them. We thus discuss possible definitions and limitations in identifying these instruments. To overcome practical constraints, we argue that, for the time being, a feasible way is to label a securitization as ‘green’ based on the assessment of the sustainability of the economic activity of the borrower of the underlying securitized loans. We also describe the main characteristics of the market for green securitizations originated by banks in Italy during the decade 2010–19. Empirical and econometric analysis show that banks’ securitized loans to ‘brown’ (less sustainable) economic activities grew much more rapidly than those to ‘green’ ones suggesting that banks preferred to keep loans to ‘green’ activities in their balance sheets and to derecognize loans to ‘brown’ ones. Finally, we show that the usual indexes of carbon content of Italian banks’ loans overestimate the amount of financed emissions if they do not take banks’ securitizations into account.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100048"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142164390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study covers a spectrum of international large-cap stocks in influential sectors since 1 January 2013 up to 5 July 2022. Focusing on the asymmetric and shape features of price risk, econometric outcomes reveal that well-established (Industrials) or highly profitable (Technology) sectors are less affected by the skewness/kurtosis price of risk or the ‛environmentally-friendly’ features. On the contrary, sectors vulnerable to alterations in income or wealth, such as Financials and Real Estate are more sizably influenced by negative asymmetry, kurtosis, and the higher volatility in bear markets. The ‛green character’ lowers the market price of stocks, increases risk premia due to higher probability for downwards movements and renders investors more risk-averse and nevertheless, this impact only reflects the initial period of green innovation with high anti-polluting costs as the green label could prove to be greatly beneficial in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unclear whether firms’ voluntary climate-related disclosures effectively convey incremental information to investors. In the empirical context of Chinese listed firms, we explore the valuation effect of firms’ voluntary climate action disclosures, which is quantified from the transcripts of earning conference calls using a novel natural language model, BERT. Our results reveal that firms with more voluntary climate action disclosures experience more positive stock market reactions, indicating that investors value transparency on corporate commitment to future climate actions. The positive valuation effect of disclosures tends to be more pronounced in firms with higher disclosure quality, more green-preference investors, and higher investor attention. Moreover, we find that the positive valuation effect is achieved through enhancing corporate reputation and investor confidence. We further show that firms’ voluntary climate action disclosures exhibit a significant positive correlation with green innovations and environmental pillar scores, dispelling concerns of mere “greenwashing”. Overall, our evidence contributes to understanding the role of climate disclosures in investor assessment of firms’ climate risks and opportunities. The findings provides fresh insights for policymakers and regulatory bodies involved in shaping disclosure frameworks that promote sustainable business practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141714225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
