ESG investment performance and global attention to sustainability
We analyze ESG-based investments in stocks across 23 developed markets using daily data from 2004 to 2022. The findings suggest a weak relationship between the ESG ratings and expected returns, with some evidence of modest underperformance of high ESG stocks compared to lower-rated ones in specific periods. This outcome indicates that stock prices have already reflected ESG information, and well-known asset pricing factors can effectively capture the returns of portfolios based on ESG ratings. However, the strength of this relationship depends on global attention to sustainability, where high ESG-rated stocks tend to gain advantages during unexpected attention increases, highlighting the dynamic, nonlinear nature of this relationship.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
