Do Investors Care about Carbon Risk?
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper finds that stocks of companies with higher total carbon emissions, and increases in emissions, earn higher returns. This suggests that investors are already pricing in carbon emission risk and demanding compensation for their exposure to it. Interestingly, emission intensity has no significant impact on returns, despite its common use as a screening indicator by institutional investors.
