Chasing the ESG Factor 追求ESG因素
Pub Date : 2021-07-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3878314

In the time-series (ordinal ESG) or the cross-section (cardinal ESG)? We show analytically that, when proper adjustment to guarantee identical ESG ratings is implemented, the return spread of the factors produced by the two methods is merely noise. We provide a protocol to construct a cross-sectional ESG factor with a targeted ESG rating without screening stocks, hence without harming ex ante diversification (Sharpe ratio). The cross-sectional ESG factor neutralizes the exposure to other firm characteristics. Using ratings from several ESG data vendors, we document strong variations in the ESG factor's alpha in the time series and across data vendors. The alpha filtered from realized returns is negatively related to the level of an ESG sentiment variable based on media attention, while it is positively related to unexpected variations of the sentiment.
是时间序列(有序ESG)还是横截面(基数ESG)?我们分析表明,当适当的调整以保证相同的ESG评级实施时,两种方法产生的因素的回报差仅仅是噪声。我们提供了一个协议,在不筛选股票的情况下构建具有目标ESG评级的横截面ESG因子,因此不会损害事前多样化(夏普比率)。横截面ESG因素抵消了对其他公司特征的暴露。使用来自几个ESG数据供应商的评级,我们记录了ESG因素的alpha在时间序列和数据供应商之间的强烈变化。从已实现收益中过滤出来的alpha与基于媒体关注的ESG情绪变量水平负相关,而与情绪的意外变化正相关。

Unlocking ESG Premium from Options 从期权中解锁ESG溢价
Pub Date : 2021-07-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3878123
Jie Cao, Amit Goyal, Xintong Zhan, Weiming Elaine Zhang
We find that option expensiveness, as measured by implied volatility, is higher for low-ESG stocks, showing that investors pay a premium in the option market to hedge ESG-related uncertainty. Using delta-hedged option returns, we estimate this ESG premium to be about 0.3% per month. All three components of ESG contribute to option pricing. The effect of ESG performance heightens after the announcement of Paris Agreement, after speeches of Greta Thunberg, and in the aftermath of Me-Too movement. We find that investors pay ESG premium to hedge volatility, jump, and other higher moment risks. The influence of ESG on option premia is stronger for firms that are closer to end-consumers, facing severer product competition, with higher investors’ ESG awareness, and without corporate hedging activity.
我们发现,以隐含波动率衡量,低esg股票的期权价格更高,这表明投资者在期权市场上支付溢价以对冲esg相关的不确定性。使用delta对冲期权回报,我们估计ESG溢价约为每月0.3%。ESG的三个组成部分都对期权定价有贡献。在《巴黎协定》的宣布、Greta Thunberg的演讲以及Me-Too运动之后,ESG绩效的影响会增强。我们发现,投资者支付ESG溢价是为了对冲波动性、跳涨和其他较高的时刻风险。ESG对期权溢价的影响,对于那些离终端消费者更近、产品竞争更激烈、投资者ESG意识更高、公司没有对冲活动的公司更强。

We use a sample of 3,293 firms from 41 countries to test the conjecture that investors require ‘contemporary’ governance mechanisms—substantive enough to renew the thinking of the board—to correct a mismatch between investors’ desires and firms’ choices regarding environmental performance. Enhanced investor power in director elections and appointments of female directors improve environmental performance by 8% and 14%, respectively. These results generally hold even when a country’s institutions are weak. Quasi-exogenous shocks to these board renewal mechanisms support the interpretation that governance improvements drive environmental performance and suggest that the ability of investors to renew the board and replace directors is a powerful mechanism to influence corporate outcomes around the world.
我们使用了来自41个国家的3293家公司的样本来检验投资者需要“当代”治理机制的假设——足以更新董事会的思维——来纠正投资者的愿望和公司在环境绩效方面的选择之间的不匹配。增强投资者在董事选举中的权力和任命女性董事分别使环境绩效提高8%和14%。即使一个国家的制度薄弱,这些结果也普遍成立。这些董事会更新机制的准外生冲击支持了治理改善推动环境绩效的解释,并表明投资者更新董事会和更换董事的能力是影响全球公司业绩的强大机制。

Corporate Social Irresponsibility and Portfolio Performance: A Cross-National Study 企业社会不负责任与投资组合绩效:一个跨国研究
Pub Date : 2020-08-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3683170

Abstract This study examines the impact of reputational risk, measured by corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) ratings, on shareholder abnormal returns. Based on 7,368 non-financial companies from 42 countries during 2007-2017, we find that long-short portfolios (buying no reputation risk and selling high reputation risk portfolios) earn significantly positive abnormal returns. The cross-national results indicate that the long-short portfolio returns are more pronounced (i) in the emerging market segment than in the developed market segment, (ii) in civil law jurisdictions than in their common law peers, (iii) within nations with higher confidence in corporations and, (iv) within nations with higher institutional trust.
摘要本研究考察了声誉风险对股东异常回报的影响,以企业社会不负责任(CSI)评级来衡量。基于2007-2017年来自42个国家的7368家非金融公司,我们发现多空组合(买入无声誉风险的组合,卖出高声誉风险的组合)获得了显著的正异常收益。跨国结果表明,多空组合回报在以下几个方面更为明显:(1)新兴市场比发达市场更明显;(2)大陆法系比英美法系更明显;(3)在对企业有较高信心的国家;(4)在制度信任较高的国家。

Climate Change and India’s Capital Market: Do Investors Care about Climate Change 气候变化与印度资本市场:投资者关心气候变化吗
Pub Date : 2020-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3670290
Labanya Prakash Jena
We examined whether India's stock market is sensitive to climate change risk and opportunity. We have used the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and Government of India's climate action plans as a proxy for climate change risk and opportunity. Our findings suggest that climate-friendly stock returns fared poorly after the significant events (The Government's announcement on climate action plans and Paris agreement). On the contrary, the carbon-intensive stocks performed reasonably. These results suggest the capital market is either indifferent to the Government's climate change mitigation plan or does not consider climate change in its investment decision making.
我们考察了印度股市是否对气候变化风险和机遇敏感。我们把《巴黎气候变化协定》和印度政府的气候行动计划作为气候变化风险和机遇的代表。我们的研究结果表明,在重大事件(政府宣布气候行动计划和巴黎协定)之后,气候友好型股票的回报表现不佳。相反,碳密集型股票表现合理。这些结果表明,资本市场要么对政府的气候变化减缓计划漠不关心,要么在其投资决策中不考虑气候变化。

The Effect of Political Risk on Shareholder Value and the Mitigating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) 政治风险对股东价值的影响及企业社会责任的缓解作用
Pub Date : 2020-04-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3579209
Pattanaporn Chatjuthamard, P. Jiraporn, Pattarake Sarajoti, Manohar Singh
PurposeThe study investigates the effect of political risk on shareholder value, using an event study and a novel measure of firm-level political risk recently developed by Hassan et al. (2017). In addition, the authors explore how corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences the effect of political risk on shareholder wealth.Design/methodology/approachThe authors exploit the guilty plea of Jack Abramoff, a well-known lobbyist, on January 3, 2006, as an exogenous shock that made lobbying less effective and less useful in the future, depriving firms of an important tool to reduce political exposure.FindingsThe results show that the market reactions are significantly more negative for firms with more political exposure. Additional analysis corroborates the results, including propensity score matching, instrumental-variable analysis and Oster's (2019) method for testing coefficient stability. Finally, the authors note that the adverse effect of political risk on shareholder value is substantially mitigated for firms with strong social responsibility, consistent with the risk mitigation hypothesis.Originality/valueThis study is the first to explore the effect of political risk on shareholder value using a novel measure. Furthermore, it is also the first to show that CSR alleviates the cost of political risk to shareholders.
本研究使用事件研究和Hassan等人(2017)最近开发的公司层面政治风险的新度量来调查政治风险对股东价值的影响。此外,作者还探讨了企业社会责任(CSR)如何影响政治风险对股东财富的影响。设计/方法/方法作者利用了著名游说者杰克·阿布拉莫夫在2006年1月3日的认罪,作为一种外生冲击,使游说在未来变得不那么有效和有用,剥夺了公司减少政治风险的重要工具。研究结果表明,政治风险越大,市场反应越消极。其他分析证实了结果,包括倾向得分匹配,工具变量分析和Oster(2019)检验系数稳定性的方法。最后,作者指出,政治风险对股东价值的不利影响在具有强烈社会责任的公司中得到了极大的缓解,这与风险缓解假设相一致。原创性/价值本研究首次采用新颖的度量方法探讨政治风险对股东价值的影响。此外,该研究也首次表明企业社会责任减轻了股东的政治风险成本。

The hospitality sector is one of the fast growing and dynamic sectors in India. Of late not only has there been a change in demand and supply trends, but consumer preferences and desires are also changing, which has led to an eruption of innovative management practices. One of the critical issues facing this industry today is that of sustainability. Therefore, many hotel chains, particularly five-star hotels, have incorporated a number of green practices to reduce their carbon footprints. This in turn has a considerable effect on consumers’ willingness to pay for their services.  This study aimed to explore the factors of consumer awareness, consumer attitude and willingness to pay premium that impact choice of sustainable 5-star hotels of Northern India. Based on the study aim, a quantitative research was conducted using survey of 447 customers or visitors of the chosen hotels. The questionnaire pertained to elements crucial for this research consisting list of important sustainable practices and how these practices are affecting their preference for the hotel chains. Data was gathered using a close-ended questionnaire from the customers of these hotels. KMO factor analysis method was applied to identify the most significant factors of consumer awareness; consumer attitude and willingness to pay premium that impact their choice of the sustainable five star hotels of Northern India.
酒店业是印度快速增长和充满活力的行业之一。最近,不仅需求和供给趋势发生了变化,而且消费者的偏好和欲望也在发生变化,这导致了创新管理实践的爆发。当今该行业面临的关键问题之一是可持续性。因此,许多连锁酒店,特别是五星级酒店,都采取了一些绿色措施来减少碳足迹。这反过来又对消费者为其服务付费的意愿产生了相当大的影响。本研究旨在探讨影响印度北部可持续五星级酒店选择的消费者意识、消费者态度和支付溢价意愿等因素。根据研究目的,通过对所选酒店的447名顾客或游客的调查,进行了定量研究。调查问卷涉及本研究的关键要素,包括重要的可持续实践清单,以及这些实践如何影响他们对连锁酒店的偏好。数据是通过封闭式问卷从这些酒店的顾客中收集的。采用KMO因子分析法,找出影响消费者意识的最显著因素;消费者的态度和支付溢价的意愿影响了他们对北印度可持续五星级酒店的选择。

Life on Land: Bottom-Up Sustainability Conscientiousness 陆地上的生命:自下而上的可持续性尽责
Pub Date : 2019-09-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3452827
Julia M. Puaschunder
Bottom-up sustainability conscientiousness is discussed in the focal point of law, economics and governance. The implementation of sustainability accounts for the most challenging contemporary global governance predicaments that seems to pit today’s against future generations in the trade-off of economic growth versus sustainability. As a novel angle towards sustainability, the Sustainable Development Goals are set out to implement sustainability around the globe on a large scale. In the bottom-up implementation of sustainability, tax ethics, public-private-partnerships (PPPs) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are discussed. Behavioral insight nudges to steer bottom-up sustainability action include social status manipulations and joint decision making presentation advantages, which account for easily implementable bottom-up democracy in action tools to ensure natural sustainability choices. Strengthening financial social responsibility, social welfare and environmental protection through future-oriented and socially responsible economic market approaches of capitalism in the 21st century is aimed at alleviating predictable economic, social and environmental crises to ensure a future sustainable humankind for this generation and the following.
从法律、经济和治理的角度探讨自下而上的可持续性责任。可持续性的实施解释了当代最具挑战性的全球治理困境,在经济增长与可持续性之间的权衡中,这似乎使当代人与子孙后代陷入困境。作为可持续发展的一个新角度,可持续发展目标旨在在全球范围内大规模实施可持续发展。在自下而上的可持续发展实施中,讨论了税收伦理、公私伙伴关系(ppp)和企业社会责任(CSR)。行为洞察推动自下而上的可持续发展行动,包括社会地位操纵和联合决策展示优势,这说明在行动工具中容易实现自下而上的民主,以确保自然的可持续发展选择。在21世纪,通过面向未来和对社会负责的资本主义经济市场方法,加强财政社会责任、社会福利和环境保护,旨在减轻可预见的经济、社会和环境危机,以确保这一代人和后代的未来可持续发展。
