Expertise
Professor Jondeau tackles the question of the impact of investors on stock prices in a setting where investors are green, active, or passive. Green investors track an index that progressively excludes the stocks of firms with the highest greenhouse gas emissions. Active investors buy a mean-variance efficient portfolio of all stocks. Passive investors hold a value-weighted index of all stocks. Contrary to the literature, he finds a large drop in the stock prices of the high-emitting firms that get excluded by green investors and a moderate increase in the stock prices of greener firms when green investors announce the exclusion strategy. Further results show that, due to the imperfect substitution of stocks among investors, a smaller number of active investors relative to green investors amplifies the price impact of green investments.
