The impact of carbon disclosure mandates on emissions and financial operating performance

Downar, Benedikt; Ernstberger, Jürgen; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2020

We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions. For UK-incorporated listed firms such a mandate was adopted in 2013. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that firms affected by the...

Carbon VIX : Carbon Price Uncertainty and Decarbonization Investments

Fuchs, Maximilian - 2024

We study the effects of carbon price uncertainty on firms' decisions to decarbonize their operations. We first use information on the pricing of options on emission allowances in the European Emissions Trading System to create the Carbon VIX, a market-based high-frequency measure of carbon price...

Will the Paris Accord Accelerate Climate Change?

Kotlikoff, Laurence J. - 2016

Finally we question the standard use of infinitely-lived, single-agent models, which assume, unrealistically, intergenerational altruism in determining optimal abatement policy. Their prescriptions can differ, potentially dramatically, from those needed to correct the negative climate...
