Suwan Long (IÉSEG School of Management) will be presenting her work on “Beyond Green Claims: The Market Value of Credibility in Sustainability-Linked Bonds”.
About this session: This paper develops systematic measures of how specific and enforceable the commitments in Sustainability-Linked Bonds are. We construct bond-level and bond-year panel datasets that allow us to observe how contractual credibility evolves over time. Linking these credibility scores to bond yield spreads, we provide new evidence on whether financial markets differentiate between stronger and weaker SLB designs.
When: Monday 13th of October
12.30-12.45 Light lunch and networking
12.45-13.45 Talk and Q&A.
Where: CRASSH meeting room (Alison Richards Building) on the Sidgwick site.
Lunch: A light lunch will be provided, but bring along your drink of choice!
Zoom: You can also join us virtually on Zoom.
The weekly climaTRACES workshops, organised by Kamiar Mohaddes and Henning Zschietzschmann, are attended by a diverse group of people from economics, geography, politics, engineering, business, earth sciences, natural sciences, and history, generating interdisciplinary discussion. One person leads the session, on either a paper they have written, a work in progress, or just an idea they have and would like feedback on. This is also an opportunity for people to find our more about the team on what climaTRACES have been up to and what future events and research projects are being developed.
