Theoretical findings indicate that ESG risk adjusts the optimal portfolio, helping to mitigate losses due to ESG divergence. The paper conducts empirical research using ESG ratings from three well-known rating agencies and the CSI300 index. The empirical results demonstrate that ESG preferences enhance the ESG quality of the portfolio. Consistent with theoretical predictions, reliance on a single ESG rating may lead to adverse outcomes, especially when the selected rating agency’s standards deviate from market norms. In contrast, portfolios that include ESG uncertainty exhibit higher stability and lower loss risk, showing good robustness across different stages and industries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102295"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the basic model, the forward-looking expectation of individual investors is distorted by individual sentiment and higher order expectations, so prices react more sluggishly to changes in fundamentals of the asset. We find that investor sentiment plays a significant role in the effect of higher order expectations on asset pricing. Investor sentiment not only makes the price tightly anchor to the initial price, but also increases the sentiment drift of the price. Higher order expectations exhibit inertia, therefore aggravating the anchor to the initial price. With the increase of the order, more and more investor sentiment is integrated into the prices, amplifying the bias of pubic signal relative to fundamentals. When individual sentiment investors learn valuable public information through price system in the long term, the information component of the equilibrium price increases, thus drawing the asset price back toward the rational expected value. The model could offer a partial explanation to the inertia and drift in the price path.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102298"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142698311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a multifaceted methodological framework, the study begins by identifying bubble occurrences and calculating the delta CoVaR systemic risk metric. Building on established macroeconomic methodologies, we then propose an indicator to quantify the impact of financial bubbles on the stability of an emerging market. Specifically, we construct two coincident indicators based on daily observations of financial stability for the twenty most liquid Romanian companies. The first indicator is derived from the delta CoVaR values of these companies, while the second is computed using the residuals of a model that employs the same financial stability metric as the dependent variable, with a binary variable representing the presence of asset bubbles as the explanatory factor. This second coincident indicator tracks financial stability in the absence of bubble effects. The disparity between these two indicators forms the basis for the creation of an index, termed the “bubble fragility index,” which measures the overall susceptibility of financial stability to asset bubbles. In the context of the Romanian market, this study demonstrates that periods marked by asset bubbles are associated with elevated systemic risks. Our findings indicate that the presence of bubbles significantly intensifies financial risk factors, creating conditions conducive to severe market corrections and economic downturns. We identify specific intervals during which fragility reaches peak levels, including June to September 2018, December 2018 to March 2019, March 2020, and March 2022.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102291"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142425748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
