While prior research has relied on reduced-form regressions or structural models, the underlying mechanisms often remain ambiguous or model-dependent. We propose a semi-structural approach that combines a structural vector autoregression model of the Korean economy with reduced-form regressions linking identified structural shocks to unexpected weather conditions, measured as deviations from historical norms. Our analysis reveals that cold events – heating degree days, freezing degree days, and frost – are associated with adverse supply shocks, while storms and dust storms manifest as demand shocks. These results highlight that the type of macroeconomic shock triggered by weather depends on both the event’s nature and societal resilience. By uncovering the mechanisms through which weather events propagate through the economy, our findings offer a foundation for more targeted and adaptive climate policy responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 107131"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144168067","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}

Despite years of research, the existence of a greenium remains inconclusive. To contribute to this ongoing debate, we analyse data from Japan's primary corporate bond market between 2016 and 2023, employing multivariate regression models to assess yield differentials at issuance. We find that the greenium is not universal; it appears only for firms with strong environmental performance, with yield spreads that are 7–17 basis points lower on average. However, the greenium disappears after 2021, coinciding with rising greenwashing concerns and widening global yield spreads. While demand for green bonds appears to matter for the greenium, the post-liquidity difference has little impact. These findings indicate that sustainability performance can influence capital costs, and that credibility and transparency play key roles in maintaining investor trust in green finance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 107159"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147555","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 predict that while the current housing boom will continue in the near future, real housing prices will eventually decline after 2035 because of low fertility. Among government policies, increasing the housing supply or the birth rate can mitigate this long-term housing boom-bust cycle and is welfare-improving for currently young generations.

Moreover, new regulations and policy changes generally lead to similar behaviours. Thus, those events should be absorbed by the trend component of the trend-cycle decomposition, but the Hodrick–Prescott filter does not allow for breaks.

Additionally, the increase in lending distance driven by bank fintech is associated with an extension in firms’ debt maturity, without a corresponding increase in the probability of default.
