Social responsibility and bank resiliency
研究发现社会责任指标能增强银行韧性,该结论在多种ESG评分和风险度量下成立,且长期视角的变量效果更显著,同时存在跨大西洋差异。
We find strong evidence that measures of social responsibility contribute to increasing the resilience of banks. This finding holds when social responsibility is measured by aggregated ESG scores provided by Thomson Reuters, both according to their older Asset 4 categorization and to the reformed ESG Refinitiv classification, and resilience is proxied by various measures of systemic and systematic risk. The results hold on the level of subcategories of the ESG pillars, where we find that, particularly, variables related to the long-term perspective enhance resilience. Moreover, in our international study, we find significant transatlantic differences.
