| Summary: | In this paper, we investigate how climate risk impacts the sovereign risk, the stock market
evolution, and the degree of competitiveness, starting from the macroeconomic and financial
effects globally produced by climate change. Using both quantile and logistic regression and
a sample of 22 countries, of which 16 EU members and 6 OECD members, during the
2008-2019 period, the results highlight a negative relationship between climate risks and the
evolution of stock market capitalization as a percentage of GDP. Moreover, the climate risk
leads to an increase in sovereign risk only across inferior quantiles, i.e., when the CDS level
is small. In addition, based on a logit regression model, we show that the level of
competitiveness of a country is influenced to a small extent by the level of climate risk. This
could be a consequence of concerns among authorities and companies in each country willing
to implement development strategies to achieve the goals proposed by the European Green
Pact and standardization of the global price of CO2. |
