How Environmental Issues Impact Stock Returns

We will host a webinar to discuss our recent report titled "Environmental Issues and Stock Returns." Our report quantifies the impact environmental issues have on company stock prices. We examined the impact of a recent environmental incident on stock prices using new data sources.

Using data from both old and new sources, we explore and quantify the impact environmental factors have on stock prices using several statistical techniques. The webinar is structured into two parts. In the first, we describe a number of standard market models and test the hypothesis that environmental factors do, in fact, impact equity prices.

In the second part of the webinar, we examine the impact of a recent environmental incident on stock prices using new data sources and with the assistance of the equity market model specified in phase one.

We created a ranking of environmental impact forecasts and preparations. Our analysis strongly suggests that investors and publicly traded companies must recognize the impact environmental incidents and issues have on a given firm's ability to use company assets and therefore generate revenue and profits.
