Very happy to have this one with @patrickbayer.bsky.social and @fgenovese.bsky.social accepted in @psrm.bsky.social! We show that, without unambiguous policy commitments, stock markets will not stir capital away from fossil fuel and towards renewable energy investments.

"Energy Transition, Financial Markets and EU Interventionism:
Lessons from the Ukraine Crisis" by Patrick Bayer, Lorenzo Crippa and Federica Genovese

A successful energy transition requires the reallocation of private capital away from fossil fuel assets to greener alternatives. This transition is typically hindered by investors’ focus on today’s returns. In times of crisis, however, credible and unambiguous political signals about the future profitability of green industries can steer investments towards low-carbon assets. Drawing on European Union interventions during the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we present an event study of daily stock market returns following the most salient policy announcements by the European Commission in 2022. Our analysis shows that markets for shares of EU-based energy firms were initially prepared to move capital to cleaner companies, suggesting support for the clean energy transition. However, the short-lived distributional effects materialized only for announcements that could unmistakably be understood as unwavering commitments to the EU’s green renewal, while more ambiguous announcements did not have the same distributional implications. Our findings emphasize that repeated and unambiguous political signals during crisis episodes can create favorable market conditions, at least in the short-term, to support capital reallocation towards greener stocks.

#Overleaf is down. Somewhere out there, a team of economists is getting ready to use it as an exogenous shock to academic productivity. Sadly, they have nowhere to write down their notes.

On a more serious note, this is just one more reason to prefer working in LaTeX locally

EU chipping at 🇷🇺 exports, incl. oil/gas related tech. Direction is right but sad it's been so slow. @patrickbayer.bsky.social @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social and I have argued that the capital that sneakingly fuels Russia's finances could have shifted away more robustly if action had been faster in 2022.
