Abstract Financing through the supply‐driven green bonds market has significantly surged in recent years. In this paper, we examine factors influencing size of financing though bond supply, using cross‐section OLS regressions on a global dataset for 8 years (2010–2017) sourced from Bloomberg. We consider set tridimensional factors: characteristics, issuer and characteristics their effects issue size. Alongside whole sample estimation, produce year‐wise estimations to realize evolution...

Green bonds could play a key role in financing the investment needed to achieve global climate and energy objectives UN Sustainable Development Goals. Using Bloomberg data of corporate green bond issuance from 2010 2017, we explore factors affecting size borrowing. By employing set tri-dimensional elements (security characteristics, issuer market characteristics), investigate consistency effects across emerging non-emerging markets. Findings suggest that, general, issue is positively related...

This study explores the interrelationship between CO 2 emissions and economic growth in selected Africa economies from 1990 to 2014 providing evidence both static dynamic models. Results show that increases energy use have a significant positive effect on growth; which goes is actually dependent. Further findings suggest no contemporaneous effect, however, negative at one‐period lag growth. The significance of impacts consistently confirmed by estimations. Also, trade adds also contributes...

The Megamaser Cosmology Project inferred a value for the Hubble constant given by $H_0=73.9 \pm 3.0 $ km/sec/Mpc. This was obtained using Bayesian inference marginalizing over six nuisance parameters, corresponding to velocities of megamaser galaxy systems. We obtain an independent estimate with same data frequentist inference. For this purpose, we use profile likelihood dispense aforementioned parameters. is $H_0=73.5^{+3.0}_{-2.9}$ km/sec/Mpc and agrees within $0.2\sigma$, both approaches...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate why multi-tier apparel suppliers integrate social sustainability practices into their supply chains and what barriers these encounter while embedding practices.
