Abstract

The sovereign green bond market has been growing rapidly worldwide since its debut in 2016. The study investigates the empirical response of the stock and credit default swap (CDS) market to green bond issuance by 10 EU countries during the period 2016–2021. We document that the issuance of a green bond is regarded by the investors as reflecting as value-enhancing and risk-reducing behavior by EU countries. The issuance of sovereign green bond provides a strong signal of the country's involvement to a low-carbon economy by increasing the social and reputational benefits. This effect is even more evident during the pandemic crisis. The reaction of stock and CDS market is driven by several factors such as bond and country characteristics. Overall, our findings suggest that the sovereign issuance of green bonds acts as mitigation mechanism for country risk.

主权绿色债券与国家价值和风险:来自欧盟国家的证据
自2016年首次亮相以来,主权绿色债券市场在全球范围内迅速增长。本文研究了2016-2021年期间10个欧盟国家的股票和信用违约互换(CDS)市场对绿色债券发行的实证响应。我们发现,投资者认为绿色债券的发行反映了欧盟国家的增值和降低风险的行为。主权绿色债券的发行通过增加社会和声誉效益,为该国参与低碳经济提供了一个强烈的信号。这种影响在大流行危机期间更为明显。股票和CDS市场的反应受到债券和国家特征等几个因素的驱动。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,绿色债券的主权发行是国家风险的缓解机制。
