The stock market and corporate consequences of ethical exclusions by the world’s largest fund
We investigate the stock market and corporate consequences of ethically motivated portfolio exclusions. The divestments by Norway’s “Oil Fund,” the world’s largest SWF, provide a sample of stocks facing widespread exclusions by institutional investors. We estimate a return premium (alpha) of about 5% for this “unethical portfolio.” We also consider firms where the oil funds’ exclusion has been reversed. For this portfolio of “newly ethical firms” we do not find a return premium going forward. We investigate to what extent these results can be directly linked to the Oil Fund’s actions. We do not find evidence of a causal link. We investigate the corporate reactions to exclusions. Only 14% of the excluded firms make sufficient changes to their operations for the exclusions to be revoked.

International trade, financing and investments, and the related cash and credit transactions, have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years.

Theoretical/conceptual and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • International financial markets • International securities markets • Foreign exchange markets • Eurocurrency markets • International syndications • Term structures of Eurocurrency rates • Determination of exchange rates • Information, speculation and parity • Forward rates and swaps • International payment mechanisms • International commercial banking; • International investment banking • Central bank intervention • International monetary systems • Balance of payments.
