This study constructs four firm-level climate attention indices—Aggregate, Physical Risk, Transition Risk, and Opportunity—based on over 117,000 Chinese-language earnings calls and broker reports. Using a keyword discovery method enhanced by natural language processing (NLP), we quantify climate-related disclosure intensity across A-share listed firms. Huber robust regressions within an event-study framework reveal a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between climate attention and cumulative abnormal returns (CARs), especially over longer event windows. Among the four dimensions, transition risk attention elicits the strongest and most persistent market responses. Moreover, the effects vary systematically by ownership type, carbon intensity, policy regime, and geographic region. These findings provide novel micro-level evidence on how investors in emerging markets process climate disclosures, offering implications for disclosure regulation, sustainable finance, and capital market reforms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 107941"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The empirical findings reveal that geopolitical risk has a mixed impact on emissions, depending on economic conditions. Also, economic policy uncertainty consistently raises emissions, similarly trade policy uncertainty is positively associated with emissions, especially at higher quantiles. Moreover, financial development generally increases emissions, with financial institutions amplifying this effect. However, financial market development reduces emissions at lower quantiles but increases them at higher ones, signifying a dual influences. To effectively tackle climate change, China should embrace a holistic policy approach that weaves together economic, financial, and geopolitical strategies. This includes adopting carbon pricing and green subsidies, steering investments through strong ESG standards, expanding access to climate finance, and deepening international cooperation to drive a just and inclusive low-carbon transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 107944"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The D-vine copula quantile regression and copula entropy methods, which capture nonlinear dependencies and select key predictors, are used to construct a high-dimensional financial network. The model incorporates time-lagged volatility and information from neighboring stocks, enabling efficient risk propagation. Applied to Dow Jones Index constituents (2012–2024), our approach improves forecasting accuracy while reducing reliance on hyperparameters. We also find that the low-volatility premium coincides with lower downside risk, with low- and high-volatility stocks exhibiting equal or lower return standard deviations across all networks. Notably, the copula-based network identifies stocks that enhance alpha while mitigating portfolio risk, offering a robust tool for portfolio construction and risk management.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that green financial reform significantly promotes regional industrial innovation and entrepreneurship; digital transformation also has a positive effect and plays a mediating role in this relationship, with heterogeneous effects across regions with different urbanization levels. It is worth noting that the synergistic effects of green financial reform and digital transformation are also evident in the fields of education and sports. For example, green loans are used to support low-carbon renovations of campuses and educational informatization projects, while digital technologies are leveraged to empower innovation in the sports industry and upgrade public fitness service models.
