The ESG derivative pricing model, an extension of good-deal bounds (GDB) in an incomplete market, can overcome the arbitrariness of setting the exogenous Sharpe ratio necessary for the GDBs. The empirical studies using ESG indices of S&amp;P, MSCI, and STOXX demonstrate that the price boundaries from sustainability arbitrage pricing of ESG futures and call options are much tighter than those from the original good-deal bounds with twice the Sharpe ratio, which is the maximum of any portfolio performance as assumed in Ross (1976) and which Shanken (1992) calls “approximate arbitrage.” Sustainability arbitrage pricing generates relatively tight price boundaries consistent with sustainable concepts. Then, empirical studies find the long-term mean of ESG indices strongly affects ES risk premiums in sustainability arbitrage pricing. The results confirm the importance of mean-reversion of ESG indices in ESG derivative pricing. Sustainability arbitrage pricing produces a positive relationship between economic and ESG value, symmetric information holding of ES risk between buyers and sellers, and reasonable upper limits in ES risk premiums. These three features of the ES risk premium may prove that sustainability arbitrage pricing is valid for ESG derivative pricing in practice. Finally, we discuss the validities of the proposed models and empirical studies using an econometric analysis, model parameter estimation using more recent extended data, and a sensitivity analysis of strike prices to call option prices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48226,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Financial Analysis","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 104177"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is driven mainly by increased investor sentiment, analyst attention and risk-taking capacity following subsidy receipt. Management's greenwashing is amplified by executives' political connections and is more prevalent in the sample of heavy polluters, state-owned enterprises, firms under strong environmental regulation, firms exhibiting voluntary disclosure and firms with poor ESG performance.

We construct a framework for digital transformation in banking across five dimensions, emphasizing the critical role of digitalized risk control. The findings reveal that digital transformation, particularly when integrating digitalized risk control, significantly contributes to deleveraging. Among the sub-dimensions, technological digitalization, risk control digitalization, and product digitalization have strong effects in reducing bank leverage. The deleveraging impact of digital transformation is especially pronounced in banks owned by the government, with higher capital adequacy ratios, in regions with weaker financial regulation, with a fintech subsidiaries, and listed as systematically important. In terms of mechanisms, digital transformation helps mitigate procyclical leverage behavior, thereby stabilizing the financial system. Shifting the focus to off-balance sheet activities and systemic risk, an intriguing phenomenon emerges: banks with fewer types of wealth management products, a preference for shorter maturities, and higher yield caps demonstrate a more pronounced deleveraging effect during digital transformation. Additionally, the dual effects of digital transformation on both deleveraging and systemic risk control are also examined.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48226,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Financial Analysis","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 104205"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143826028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
