Merging Refinitiv ESG scores with Orbis Bank Focus loan-book data for 51 EU-listed banks over 2005–2022, we estimate pooled OLS, random-effects, fixed-effects, lagged-variable, and dynamic System-GMM specifications. The evidence points to one robust regularity and two more qualified patterns. First, banks with higher mortgage-loan shares tend to have lower ESG ratings: a one-standard-deviation increase in mortgage intensity is associated with an approximately three-point lower composite ESG score and up to five points lower environmental pillar score, and the negative mortgage association remains visible in the dynamic System-GMM models. Second, consumer-loan intensity is positively associated with ESG ratings in random-effects, fixed-effects, and lagged fixed-effects specifications, particularly for the environmental and social pillars, but this association is not statistically significant in the dynamic System-GMM models. Third, corporate-loan exposure shows no stable relationship with overall ESG ratings. We interpret these patterns as consistent with a trust-intensity mechanism: ESG commitments and lending technologies appear to align differently across collateral-rich, standardised lending and softer-information retail activities.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44298,"journal":{"name":"Economic Notes","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324293","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}

We propose a typology of fragmentation risks and examine their destabilizing potential within a monetary union by means of a small macroeconomic model.

Specifically, we ask whether blocking a domestic merger that reduces consumer surplus in the short run could inadvertently preclude a subsequent cross-border acquisition (by the same parties) that would raise consumer surplus in both the home and foreign markets. To address this question, we develop a Cournot model with increasing marginal costs and show that moderate, complementary synergies can make hybrid mergers—those combining domestic and cross-border elements—both profitable and beneficial for consumer surplus, even when each merger on its own would not be viable and/or would harm consumers. Our analysis suggests that, in settings where such complementarities are plausible, the interaction and sequencing of domestic and cross-border mergers may be relevant for assessing their long-run welfare implications.</p>","PeriodicalId":44298,"journal":{"name":"Economic Notes","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecno.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148269020","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}

Fundamental analysts see identifying time-varying predictive factors as a key goal in asset pricing. This paper provides strong evidence of time-varying return predictability of the S&amp;P 500 Index from 1929 to 2020, by proposing the construction of altered versions of the classical dividend-price (dp) and earnings-price (ep). Our study's primary objectives are to introduce a cyclical adjustment to the simple dp and ep, which would smooth dividends and earnings, to compare the predictive dynamics of these new ratios with their simple counterparts and to modify all ratios based on long-run equilibrium relationships that arise between the examined variables. We provide solid evidence that the cyclically-adjusted ratios perform better than the simple predictors in all forecasting horizons, both in and out of sample, and the modified variables capture more predictive components in returns. Through certain robustness checks including multivariate regression settings and evidence on excess and real return predictability, we thoroughly present the predictive components identified in our data set.</p>","PeriodicalId":44298,"journal":{"name":"Economic Notes","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecno.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680370","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}

Employing the quantile regression estimation technique, the main finding shows that the digital divide severely impedes financial inclusion. The negative finding is robust with respect to the use of women's financial inclusion sub-indexes and alternative measures of the digital divide. The negative relationship is robust to OLS, Tobit, censored Poisson and truncated negative binomial estimators. Furthermore, we find that income inequality amplifies the negative effect of the digital divide on women's financial inclusion, whereas human capital mitigates the effect of the digital divide and improves women's financial inclusion. Above certain human capital thresholds, the digital divide no longer has a negative impact on the financial inclusion of women. Based on the quantiles, on average, about 10 years of schooling of the population is required to compensate for the unfavourable effect of the digital divide on the financial inclusion of women.
