Abstract

In the context of increasing awareness regarding the climate change negative effects, green bonds have gained increasing attention in the financial markets. The market dynamics of the green bond index represents a relevant proxy for the importance the general public assigns to the shift towards green economy. This paper investigates the dependence structure of green bonds and indices that represent the standard financial markets. We use a cross-quantilogram methodology to analyse the non-linear structure of these interlinkages and data covering corporate bond indices, world market index and emerging markets index for daily values spanning the time interval April 2011 to October 2022. Allowing for investigation of non-linear connections the employment of this methodology yielded significant results at various quantile levels for dependence stretching up to two lags.
