报告摘要:

We investigate how insurers’ mandatory climate risk disclosure affect their corporate bond investees’ environmental friendliness by relying on the adoption of the Climate Risk Disclosure Survey (CRDS) by the U.S. insurance industry and a difference-in-differences research design. We find that the adoption reduces carbon emissions by treated insurers’ investees, consistent with investors’ climate risk disclosure having transmission effects on improving investees’ environmental performance. This reduction is more pronounced when there is more public pressure on the insurers and/or their investees to be more climate friendly, when the insurers are likely to monitor their investees more closely, when the investees are more dependent on financing from the insurers, and when the insurers face less competition in their underwriting business.
