题 目|Actions Speak Louder Than Words: The Valuation of Green Commitment in the Corporate Bond Market
主持人|王木之,我校best365体育官网平台助理教授
内容摘要|
The article studies the effects of corporate green bond issuance on the pricing and ownership of conventional bonds in the secondary bond market. The main finding indicates that yield spreads of conventional bonds fall by around 8 basis points after green bonds are issued, and by considerably more when issuers have lower ESG ratings. The positive price reaction is not driven by green bond mispricing or by improvements in credit risk or liquidity. Rather it is consistent the conventional bond market valuing green commitment. This is confirmed by the research result showing that socially responsible investors increase their conventional bond holdings after firms issue green bonds. The analysis highlights the public debt market benefits available to firms prepared to commit to environmental sustainability through green bond issuance.
本研究探讨了公司发行绿色债券对二级债券市场上传统债券定价和所有权的影响。研究发现,在绿色债券发行之后,传统债券的信用利差下降了约8个基点。对于ESG评级较低的发行人,下降幅度更大。这种正向价格反应并非由绿色债券的错误定价导致,也不是因为信用风险或流动性改善所导致。相反,它与传统债券市场对绿色承诺的估值是一致的。研究结果表明,社会责任投资者在企业发行绿色债券后增持了传统债券。本研究展示了通过发行绿色债券致力于环境可持续发展的公司可享受到公开债务市场的收益。
