Environmental Policy, Externalities, and the Carbon Risk Premium in Europe
No full textExternality disclosures have become a central focus of policymakers in Europe, through several initiatives including the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In this study, I investigate whether these policies improve carbon disclosures, and more critically, whether such directives are reflected in firms’ implied cost of capital. Given the non-missing at random nature of emission disclosures, I employ Heckman selection model and a two-stage least squares (2SLS) imputation strategy. The results reveal a carbon discount: large brown firms face a lower ICC relative to their green counterparts, suggesting that investors do not uniformly penalize carbon intensity. This study provides novel evidence on the conditional and asymmetric pricing of carbon risk, with implications in environmental policy and the progress towards net-zero commitments
Oral History Interview with Tanya Harris-Glasow (Part 3)
No full textTanya Harris-Glasow is a community organizer who was a resident of the Lower Ninth Ward and a member of ACORN prior to Hurricane Katrina. The storm transformed her role, and she became a central figure in ACORN\u27s post-disaster organizing efforts in New Orleans. She was a founding member of the Katrina Survivors Association and, after ACORN\u27s dissolution, A Community Voice. Her work involved direct action coordination, policy advocacy, leadership training, and coalition-building. Her firsthand experience as a displaced resident gave her a unique and powerful perspective on the fight for housing rights, community self-determination, and racial justice in the rebuilding of New Orleans.https://scholarworks.uno.edu/ejrloh/1029/thumbnail.jp
