Abstract

A tanulmány a klímavédelmi események hatását vizsgálja a köztudatra és a tőkepiacra. Először tíz klímaváltozáshoz kapcsolódó fogalom Google-trends-indexének alakulását, majd öt zöld- és öt szennyező iparági kitettségű ETF abnormális hozamát tekinti át az eseményelemzés standard nemzetközi módszertanával. A Google-trends adatain vizsgált tényezők jelentős részénél az események hatására kimutatható szignifikáns átlag feletti keresési érték. A további eredmények alapján azonban a klímavédelmi eseményeknek összességében nincs tendenciaszerű hatásuk a tőkepiacra. Minden eseménynél egyedi hatások láthatók, még a hasonlók is különböző irányú reakciókat válthatnak ki. A legjelentősebb események az IPCC-jelentés, az ENSZ 24. éghajlatváltozási konferenciája, az Egyesült Államok hivatalos kilépése a párizsi egyezményből és a glasgow-i klímasztrájk volt. Egységes iparági trendek nehezen határozhatók meg, a kedvező társadalmi felelősségű (ESG) részvények, valamint - meglepő módon - a dohány-, alkohol-, szerencsejáték- és repülőgép-ipari kitettségű ETF-ek esetében várhatunk átlagosan pozitív hatást, de ezeknek a hatásoknak a robusztussága is megkérdőjelezhető. Így a klímavédelmi eseményeknek a tőkepiacokra gyakorolt hatása nagyon korlátozott, aminek egyik magyarázata lehet a vizsgált tőkepiac hatékony működése.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: G17, G32, G41.
