An influential emerging literature documents strong correlations between carbon emissions and stock returns. We reexamine that data and conclude that these associations are driven by two factors. First, stock returns are correlated only with unscaled emissions estimated by the data vendor, but not with unscaled emissions actually disclosed by firms. Vendor-estimated emissions systematically differ from firm-disclosed emissions and are highly correlated with financial fundamentals, suggesting that prior findings primarily capture the association between such fundamentals and returns. Second, unscaled emissions, the variable typically used in academic literature, is correlated with stock returns but emissions intensity (emissions scaled by firm size), an equally important measure used in practice, is not. While unscaled emissions represent an important metric for society, we argue that, for individual firms, emissions intensity is an appropriate measurement choice to assess carbon performance. The associations between emissions and returns disappear after accounting for either of the issues above.
一项有影响力的新兴文献证明了碳排放与股票收益之间的强相关性。我们重新检查了这些数据,并得出结论,这些关联是由两个因素驱动的。首先,股票收益只与数据供应商估计的无比例排放相关,而与公司实际披露的无比例排放无关。供应商估计的排放量系统性地不同于公司披露的排放量,并且与财务基本面高度相关,这表明先前的研究结果主要反映了这些基本面与回报之间的关系。其次,学术文献中通常使用的未标度排放变量与股票收益相关,但在实践中同样重要的排放强度(按企业规模标度的排放量)却与之无关。虽然未按比例排放是社会的一个重要指标,但我们认为,对于单个企业来说,排放强度是评估碳绩效的适当测量选择。考虑到上述任何一个问题后,排放量和收益之间的关联就消失了。

Total Portfolio Activation: A Framework for Creating Social and Environmental Impact across Asset Classes 总投资组合激活:跨资产类别创造社会和环境影响的框架
Pub Date : 2012-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2199671
Joshua Humphreys, Ann Solomon, Christi Electris
Based on case studies of leading, high-impact investors and asset managers, we develop a new framework for portfolio management in pursuit of social and environmental impact: Total Portfolio Activation (TPA). By identifying four key areas of impact investment activity, the framework helps investors to increase their specific "impact opportunity set" across every asset class in their investment portfolios.

Corporate Governance in a Carbon Constrained World 碳约束下的公司治理
Pub Date : 2011-12-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1969276
P. Rampling
In the world that we now live in, never has mankind been forced to deal with living and operating business as usual in a carbon constrained world. The essence of the phrase ‘business as usual’ now takes on a new meaning when it is imperative in the 21st century and beyond that business does go on, but in a world where the public, governments, non government organizations, shareholders, investors and all other interested stakeholders demand that in doing so that the environment does not further deteriorate as a consequence of doing ‘business as usual’.In an effort to address these new concerns, that we as a planet are now required to deal with, this paper will outline some of the academic research taking place and in addition add some new ideas and thoughts that are intended to add to the current body of literature.As academics, it is felt that as in other areas of research, that it is incumbent on the academic community to provide leadership in this most vital area of concern to us all and all other species that inhabit the planet with us.Essentially boards of directors, now and in the future will be required to develop individual corporate governance practices that enable their organizations to reduce carbon footprint, by producing greater levels of output, due to the world’s exponential population growth, using less of the inputs that impact adversely on the environment and more of the inputs that impact positively on the environment.
在我们现在生活的世界里,人类从来没有被迫像往常一样在一个碳限制的世界里生活和经营。“一切如常”这句话的本质现在有了新的含义,因为在21世纪及以后,商业确实会继续下去,但在一个公众、政府、非政府组织、股东、投资者和所有其他利益相关者都要求这样做的世界里,环境不会因为“一切如常”而进一步恶化。为了解决这些新的问题,我们作为一个星球现在需要处理,本文将概述一些正在进行的学术研究,并增加一些新的想法和思想,旨在增加当前的文献。作为学者,我们认为,就像在其他研究领域一样,学术界有责任在这个最重要的领域发挥领导作用,这个领域关系到我们所有人以及与我们一起生活在这个星球上的所有其他物种。从本质上说,现在和将来,董事会将被要求制定个人公司治理实践,使他们的组织能够减少碳足迹,通过生产更高水平的产出,因为世界人口呈指数级增长,使用更少的对环境产生不利影响的投入,更多的对环境产生积极影响的投入。

Time and Country Specific Institutional Effects on Corporate Social Disclosure by Financial Institutions: Evidence from Fourteen European Countries 时间和国家对金融机构社会信息披露的制度影响:来自14个欧洲国家的证据
Pub Date : 2010-12-02 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1719096

In this paper, we examine time and country specific institutional effects on CSR disclosures by big bank in fourteen Western European banks. For time effect, we compared banks’ CSR disclosures in 2005, when societal expectation of banks’ CSR disclosures was considered low, to their CSR disclosures in 2008, when social expectations from banks were higher due to the legitimacy gaps. For the institutional effects, we examine the impacts of legal origin and cultural institutions on CSR disclosures of banks in the countries studied. We find that banks are intransigent in their CSR disclosures as they maintained a constant CSR score for both periods. We also find significant relationships between countries’ legal origin and the nature of disclosures made by banks. Consistent with our hypotheses, we find that banks operating in high uncertainty avoidance cultures make more CSR disclosures than banks in low uncertainty avoidance culture, but individualism/collectivism cultural dimensions were not relevant to banks CSR disclosures. We made important contribution to literature and identified policy implications of our findings.
本文考察了14家西欧大银行社会责任披露的具体时间和国家制度效应。在时间效应方面,我们比较了2005年社会对银行社会责任信息披露的期望较低与2008年社会对银行社会责任信息披露的期望较高的情况。对于制度效应,我们考察了法律渊源和文化制度对所研究国家银行社会责任披露的影响。我们发现银行在社会责任披露方面不妥协,因为它们在两个时期都保持了恒定的社会责任评分。我们还发现,国家的法律渊源与银行披露的性质之间存在重要关系。与我们的假设一致,我们发现在高不确定性规避文化下运营的银行比在低不确定性规避文化下运营的银行披露了更多的社会责任,但个人主义/集体主义文化维度与银行社会责任披露无关。我们对文献做出了重要贡献,并确定了我们研究结果的政策含义。

Market Valuation of Corporate CO₂ Emissions, Disclosure and Emissions Trading 企业二氧化碳排放的市场评估、披露和排放交易
Pub Date : 2010-06-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1619009

In this research, we investigated (1) whether corporate CO2 emissions have a negative impact on market value, (2) whether disclosure of CO2-related information alleviates the negative impact on market value, and (3) whether participation in emissions trading schemes alleviates the negative impact on market value. Using data on greenhouse gas emissions under the Global Warming Measures Law, CO2-related disclosure (companies answering to the CDP questionnaire), and emission trading (companies participating in JVETS), we performed a regression analysis based on the Ohlson model (2001). The results of the analysis are as follows. (1) CO2 emissions have a significant negative impact on the market value, given net assets, earnings before extraordinary items, and earnings forecasts. (2) CO2-related disclosure alleviates the negative impact on the market value. (3) Participation in emissions trading schemes alleviates the negative impact on the market value but insignificant at the standard level. (4) As a result of additional analysis, we find, for companies participating in emissions trading schemes, CO2 emissions do not have a significant negative impact on market value. Overall, our results indicate that corporate CO2 emission information, disclosure of CO2-related information, and the data of participation in emissions trading schemes are incorporated in investors’ decision-making.
在本研究中,我们考察了(1)企业二氧化碳排放是否对市场价值产生负面影响;(2)二氧化碳相关信息披露是否缓解了对市场价值的负面影响;(3)参与排放权交易计划是否缓解了对市场价值的负面影响。利用《全球变暖防治法》下的温室气体排放数据、二氧化碳相关信息披露(填写CDP问卷的企业)和排放交易(参与JVETS的企业),我们基于Ohlson模型(2001)进行了回归分析。分析结果如下:(1) CO2排放对市值、给定净资产、非经常性项目前收益和收益预测均有显著的负向影响。(2)二氧化碳相关信息披露缓解了对市值的负面影响。(3)参与排放权交易可以缓解市场价值的负面影响,但在标准水平上影响不显著。(4)进一步分析发现,对于参与排放权交易机制的企业,CO2排放对市场价值没有显著的负向影响。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,企业二氧化碳排放信息、二氧化碳相关信息的披露以及参与排放交易计划的数据都被纳入投资者的决策中。

Corporate Responses to Climate Change and Financial Performance: The Impact of Climate Policy 企业应对气候变化和财务绩效:气候政策的影响
Pub Date : 2009-02-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1348476

Based on unique firm-level time series data, this paper empirically examines the relationship between corporate environmental and stock performance. In contrast to former studies, we consider corporate strategies to address climate change instead of general environmental activities and especially highlight the impact of the underlying environmental and climate policy regime. For this reason, we separately analyze the US and European stock markets for different sub-periods between 2001 and 2006. Methodologically, we compare the risk-adjusted returns of stock portfolios comprising corporations that differ in their responses to climate change. These returns are not only estimated in the common one-factor model based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), but also in the more flexible Carhart four-factor model. Our portfolio analysis first shows a negative relationship between corporate activities to address climate change and financial performance over the entire period from 2001 to 2006, especially for Europe. Furthermore, we especially find that a trading strategy which bought stocks of European corporations with stronger responses to climate change and sold stocks of European corporations with weaker responses to climate change led to negative abnormal returns in the period with less ambitious climate policy from 2001 to 2003, but to positive abnormal returns in the period with a more stringent climate policy regime from 2004 to 2006. In contrast, the US stock market produced negative risk-adjusted returns for the latter period with a rather weak environmental regulation framework.
本文基于独特的企业层面时间序列数据,实证检验了企业环境与股票绩效之间的关系。与以往的研究不同,我们考虑企业应对气候变化的战略,而不是一般的环境活动,并特别强调潜在的环境和气候政策制度的影响。因此,我们分别分析了2001年至2006年不同时期的美国和欧洲股票市场。在方法上,我们比较了由对气候变化反应不同的公司组成的股票投资组合的风险调整收益。这些收益不仅可以用基于资本资产定价模型(CAPM)的常见单因素模型来估计,也可以用更灵活的Carhart四因素模型来估计。我们的投资组合分析首先显示,在2001年至2006年的整个时期,企业应对气候变化的活动与财务绩效之间存在负相关关系,尤其是在欧洲。此外,我们特别发现,买入对气候变化反应较强的欧洲公司的股票,卖出对气候变化反应较弱的欧洲公司的股票的交易策略在2001 - 2003年气候政策不太积极的时期导致了负的异常收益,而在2004 - 2006年气候政策制度更严格的时期导致了正的异常收益。相比之下,在环境监管框架相当薄弱的情况下,美国股市在后一时期的风险调整后回报率为负。

Environmental, social and governance factors are becoming increasingly significant for comprehensive firm valuation. These factors are however of a qualitative nature and therefore difficult to express in numerical figures. Consequently, disclosure and the relevancy thereof to investors are problematic. The article analyses a breakthrough instrument which facilitates the quantification and representation of such data against the background of international institutional efforts aiming to promote standardised qualitative reporting for extra-financial information.
环境、社会和治理因素对公司的综合估值越来越重要。然而,这些因素具有定性性质,因此难以用数字来表示。因此,信息披露及其与投资者的相关性是有问题的。本文分析了一种突破性的工具,该工具有助于量化和表示这些数据,背景是国际机构努力促进对财务外信息进行标准化定性报告。

Financial Instruments for Human Development 人类发展的金融工具
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1375484
G. Chichilnisky
Economics often provides the wrong incentives to those who control the assets, such as people in developing countries where most forests are located and who could potentially benefit most from conservation . There is increasing unease about this situation, and an emerging view is that standard economic concepts and prescriptions fail to properly account for the value of environmental assets . Economic values seem to be out of step with social values ; it is clear that the economic science of the future should bridge this gap. This paper develops practical ways and new economic thinking to redress this discrepancy: it creates and develops structures and institutions through which the value embodied in environmental assets can be translated into economic return which encourages the conservation of the asset, and induce more equitable and effective use of resources . I will introduce a range of different financial instruments, some of which are connected to global environmental assets such as the planet's atmosphere, and others to local or regional assets, such as watersheds . The financial instruments proposed here all share an unusual feature : they provide economic incentives towards environmental conservation. They do so by altering the economic valuation of these assets in a way that is more aligned with their real values to human societies . By doing so, these mechanisms produce incentives towards more efficient use of resources globally, whether for local resources such as water or for global resources such as a stable atmosphere . The ultimate role of these instruments is to offer a way to fund sustainable human development at a global scale, systematically and reliably. The main message of this article is that we must rethink the foundations of international development to achieve equitable and sustainable economic progress . The Bretton Woods Institutions (World Bank, IMF, GATT) were based on a post World War II model . They encouraged one form of development : resource based industrialization . These organizations are built upon a model funded by voluntary national donations based on taxes, a model that no longer works well . At the same time the globalization of the world economy brings new demands on the international system, requiring more infrastructure for trading and communication, and the need to develop new standards of human development and environmental protection . The current criticism of the Bretton Woods institutions, and of the United Nations within the US and other industrial nations, comes at a time when international organizations may be more needed than ever .
经济学常常给那些控制这些资产的人提供错误的激励,比如那些拥有大部分森林的发展中国家的人,他们可能从保护中获益最多。人们对这种情况越来越感到不安,一种新出现的观点是,标准的经济概念和处方未能适当地考虑到环境资产的价值。经济价值似乎与社会价值不一致;很明显,未来的经济科学应该弥合这一差距。本文开发了实用的方法和新的经济思想来纠正这种差异:它创造和发展了结构和制度,通过这些结构和制度,体现在环境资产中的价值可以转化为经济回报,从而鼓励对资产的保护,并诱导更公平和有效地利用资源。我将介绍一系列不同的金融工具,其中一些与全球环境资产(如地球大气)有关,另一些与当地或区域资产(如流域)有关。这里提出的金融工具都有一个不同寻常的特点:它们为环境保护提供经济激励。它们通过改变这些资产的经济估值,使其更符合它们对人类社会的真实价值。通过这样做,这些机制产生了对全球资源更有效利用的激励,无论是对诸如水之类的当地资源还是对诸如稳定大气之类的全球资源。这些文书的最终作用是提供一种在全球范围内系统和可靠地资助可持续人类发展的途径。本文的主要信息是,我们必须重新考虑国际发展的基础,以实现公平和可持续的经济进步。布雷顿森林机构(世界银行、国际货币基金组织、关贸总协定)是以二战后的模式为基础的。他们鼓励一种发展形式:以资源为基础的工业化。这些组织是建立在一种模式上的,这种模式是由基于税收的国家自愿捐款资助的,这种模式已经不再有效。与此同时,世界经济全球化对国际体系提出了新的要求,需要更多的贸易和通信基础设施,需要制定新的人类发展和环境保护标准。当前对布雷顿森林体系的批评,以及美国和其他工业国家对联合国的批评,正值国际组织可能比以往任何时候都更需要的时候。

The Bretton Woods Institutions (World Bank, IMF, GATT) were based on a post World War II model . They encouraged one form of development : resource based industrialization . These organizations are built upon a model funded by voluntary national donations based on taxes, a model that no longer works well . At the same time the globalization of the world economy brings new demands on the international system, requiring more infrastructure for trading and communication, and the need to develop new standards of human development and environmental protection . The current criticism of the Bretton Woods institutions, and of the United Nations within the US and other industrial nations, comes at a time when international organizations may be more needed than ever .","PeriodicalId":365753,"journal":{"name":"CGN: The Environment (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129761231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Equity and Efficiency in Global Emissions Markets 全球排放市场的公平与效率
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1377782
G. Chichilnisky
This essay examines the issues of equity and efnciency in the use of global environmental resources, with the atmosphere as a case in point. It shows a somewhat unexpected connection between the two issues in the context of international greenhouse gas emissions trading markets. Contrary to common wisdom, achieving a more even distribution of property rights to environmental assets is more than a matter of equity Property rights also influence market efficiency. I show that a precondition for market efficiency is that more property rights in the global commons should be given to those regions that own fewer private goods. This connection leads to recommendations to implement the greenhouse gas emissions trading regimes authorized by the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). In order to ensure an efficient trading market, developing countries should be allocated proportionately more emissions rights than industrial countries. In addition, there is a need to create an International Bank for Environmental Settlements (IBES) as a self-financing institution that can obtain market value from environmental resources while preserving them. Emissions trading, the global reinsurance of environmental risks, and securitization of the earth’s biodiversity resources are financial instruments that merge the interests of the private financial markets with international sustainable development policy These instruments and institutions should help to redefine economic progress in away that is compatible with a harmonious use of the world’s resources and with equity among rich and poor nations.
本文以大气为例,探讨了利用全球环境资源的公平和效率问题。它显示了在国际温室气体排放交易市场的背景下,这两个问题之间的某种意想不到的联系。与常识相反,实现环境资产产权的更均匀分配不仅仅是一个股权问题,产权也影响市场效率。我指出,市场效率的一个先决条件是,应将更多的全球公地产权赋予那些拥有较少私人物品的地区。这种联系导致了实施《联合国气候变化框架公约》(unfccc)《京都议定书》授权的温室气体排放交易制度的建议。为了确保有效的交易市场,发展中国家应按比例分配比工业国家更多的排放权。此外,有必要设立一个国际环境结算银行,作为一个能够在保护环境资源的同时从环境资源获得市场价值的自筹资金机构。排放交易、环境风险的全球再保险和地球生物多样性资源的证券化是将私人金融市场的利益与国际可持续发展政策结合在一起的金融工具。这些工具和机构应有助于重新定义经济进步,使其与世界资源的和谐利用和富国与穷国之间的公平相一致。
