Comparison of the asymmetric multifractal behavior of green and U.S. bonds against benchmark financial assets by Werner Kristjanpoller, Benjamin Miranda Tabak

“…Abstract Presently, financial portfolio managers lack a solid basis for building a reliable risk management strategy for green debt instrument investments due to the lack of compelling growth and resilience data. Therefore, this study assesses the role of green bonds in financial markets by assessing and correlating their complex scaling behaviors across multiple periods with those of key benchmark assets (e.g., conventional bonds, high-yield bonds, Euro-Dollar exchange, Dow Jones Industrial Index, Bitcoin, and Gold). …”
