Abstract
There is a positive relationship between cross-border bank-to-nonbank flows and country-level sustainability scores. This result is consistent with the signaling theory pointing out that a country’s sustainability score is a signal to attract more international fund flows. This finding suggests public policy makers to focus more on country-level sustainability investments in order to improve financing of resident firms.
