We employ an event study approach, and returns on 27 equity indices from five geographical regions to gauge the impact of Trump's victory on the abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns. While we document negative abnormal returns in 21 of 27 markets on the event day (November 5, 2024), the post-victory market responses are considerably divergent, supporting the hope/fear hypothesis. That is, countries with strained ties to the Biden administration or more friendly relationships with the Trump administration exhibited positive and significant reactions to Trump's victory (e.g., Russia, Israel, Türkiye, and Pakistan), whereas those susceptible to Trump's policies (e.g., Germany, France, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa) exhibited negative and significant responses. The effect on the transitional and intermediate markets—including Canada, Japan, Poland, and Colombia—is mixed, with both positive and negative aspects, but lacks significance. We demonstrate that the US presidential elections have far-reaching economic implications that extend beyond the US market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 108516"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145217311","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}

This study empirically investigates the incentive effects of the super-deduction of R&amp;D expenses policy and the income tax rate preferential policy on green innovation within Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed high-energy-consumption enterprises, utilizing panel data spanning 2016 to 2022. The analysis specifically examines interaction effects between these policies to assess their combinatorial consistency. Research demonstrates both tax incentive policies significantly stimulate green innovation; however, their concurrent application proves counterproductive, significantly hindering green innovation advancement. Environmental regulations and executive environmental awareness effectively mitigate this adverse interactive effect. Further research reveals that the negative interactive effects of the two policies persist within corporate ESG performance and subsequently influence corporate carbon emissions. By extending tax incentive policy coherence research to the green innovation domain, this investigation provides substantive decision-making references for governments promoting sustainable transformation in energy-intensive industries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 108485"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145155802","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}
