We develop a financial-economic model for carbon pricing with an explicit representation of decision making under risk and uncertainty that is consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s sixth assessment report. We find that this approach provides economic support for the...

This study provides a first consistent answer to the important question of whether decarbonizing institutional portfolios affects the stock prices of carbon-intensive companies and if it contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions. With a new method to identify decarbonization trades in a...

One of the key issues dominating the institutional investing industry is impact investing and the need to reduce carbon emissions (measured in Carbon Dioxide Equivalents or CO2e). Many investors have signed the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA), which has specific goals and targets to be met...

As Low Carbon portfolios have become increasingly mainstream, one finds that there are far too many seemingly equivalent products available to investors. As a result, accurately attributing the sources of carbon reduction become even more important. While there may not be one size that fits all...

The aim of this paper is to study the performance of carbon-based portfolios when all emissions scopes are accounted for. We formalize low-carbon portfolio strategies by integrating a carbon intensity penalty to a constrained mean-variance optimization framework. To do so, we resort to direct...
