This study investigates the impact of financial development and foreign direct investment (FDI) on CO2 emissions, with a special focus carbon pricing (emissions trading taxing) in 57 developed developing economies between 2000 2017. Using an eight-fold construct for first time, we find that depth institutions negatively (positively) affects intensity (developing) economies, while access to has negative both types economies. Financial (stability) markets (developed) economies' intensity,...

We study the effects of a firm's decision to disclose carbon emissions and intensity on idiosyncratic volatility (IdVol) US S&P 500 firms from 2009 2019. document that corporate reduces IdVol carbon-emissions-disclosing by 140 bps compared non-disclosing average. Although are being rewarded for disclosing their information, our robust evidence shows significant negative impact disclosed firms' IdVol. The magnitude effect increases with quantile, implying depends size firm-level risk. In...

The New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) is unique in that it includes forestry as a carbon sink (a source of unit supply). Further, NZ ETS has been subject to many policy changes including switch from allowing unlimited importation units becoming completely autarkic. In this context, we analyse the pricing dynamics for Units (NZUs) driven by interaction between allowances supply and demand 2010 2019 two sets subperiods divided official actual de-link dates. Our empirical models find...

We examine climate transition risk in New Zealand (NZ) equities given that NZ's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are dominated by agricultural and carbon pricing has been place since 2008. find disclosure grown rapidly from 2010 is driven by, inter alia, size sector membership (Energy, Manufacturing Primary Industries). However, 2018, only around half of NZX50 companies regularly disclose emissions, though this should increase steadily as NZ will adopt mandatory disclosures 2023 onwards on a...

Financial technology in Indonesia has enormous potential and is easy to manage compared banks. also easier use as a source of capital for both stable companies start-ups. Despite the fact that great can be felt by public. Other current financial integrate funding, financing, profit distribution systems. In era, it supported digitalization process using Technology (FinTech) system so economical efficient. The benefits this research are expected solution problems have been faced small...

This paper investigates how anchoring-induced investors' trading behavior drives momentum anomaly. The results show that price does not retain its ability to predict future returns after considering the stock's nearness 52-week high. stock price's high is a stronger return predictor for stocks with higher retail proportion. suggests an pattern, which affected by investor heterogeneity. Our flow analysis reveals investors are subject anchoring bias. Their causes underreaction good (bad)...

This paper uses machine learning to improve the prediction of corporate emissions so that financial regulators and investors can make better decisions about climate transition risk. The need for predictions arises because only a subset global companies report emissions. novelty is use rather than conventional regression approaches naïve models implemented by data providers. Our best-performing model two-step framework applies Meta-Elastic Net learner combine from multiple base-learners. It...

This paper investigates the equity risk premium puzzle in Indonesian and Sri Lankan stock markets order to identify relationship between volatility of excess returns premium. The asymmetric impact negative shocks on is also examined using threshold exponential GARCH-M models. We analyse data from 2004 2013, we find that conditional not significant either country. Instead, an return only Lanka. Therefore, conclude investors are compensated for these two markets, while shocks.

We reveal a statistically and economically significant negative impact of firm’s exposure to climate change on its idiosyncratic volatility (IDVOL) from 2003 2020 in the US. Our robust results suggest that asset prices do not adequately reflect corporate exposures, indicating inefficient pricing risk market. further find firm-level ESG disclosures significantly weaken effect firms’ IDVOL, highlighting value-relevance information. Empirical evidence also documents firms polluting...
