Linking Sustainability Performance To Stock Resilience During And After Covid-19 Crisis: Evidence From Southeast Asia, Khalilul Rahman, Retnosari Retnosari, Sanda Patrisia Komalasari, Muhammad Wafiq

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted markets. While sustainability performance measured by ESG scores theoretically buffers against shocks, its efficacy in emerging markets with nascent sustainability frameworks remains underexplored. Method: We analyze a balanced panel of 1,395 observations from 279 non-financial Southeast Asian firms (2020–2024). Using OLS, lagged, and fixed effects models, we compare the impact of sustainability performance on stock resilience during the 2020–2022 and post-pandemic (2023–2024) periods. Findings: Sustainability performance (ESG scores) significantly enhanced stock resilience during the pandemic. However, this protective effect dissipated post-pandemic. Results confirm a statistically significant improvement in overall resilience following the crisis, as …

Climate Finance Paradox: Economic Fundamentals Outweigh Climate Exposure In Global Green, Blue, And Orange Bond Markets, Lovidya Helmi, Rofikoh Rokhim Nov 2026

Climate Finance Paradox: Economic Fundamentals Outweigh Climate Exposure In Global Green, Blue, And Orange Bond Markets, Lovidya Helmi, Rofikoh Rokhim

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Physical climate impacts can place pressure on public finances, but their association with country-level thematic bond issuance remains unclear. Although country-level green bond markets have been studied, comparative evidence across thematic bond categories remains limited. This study examines whether historical climate impacts are associated with green and blue bond issuance and an exploratory social/sustainability bond proxy, and whether these associations differ after 2015. An unbalanced panel of 184 countries over 2015–2023 (1,271 country-year observations; 183 of the 184 countries enter the fixed-effects estimation) is analyzed using a log-linear Fixed-effects model selected via the Hausman test (χ²(10)=73.29; p<0.001), with the Germanwatch Climate Risk Index (CRI) as the proxy for physical climate risk; orange bond results are treated as exploratory given data sparsity (98.0% zeros). Across all three instruments, CRI shows no statistically significant association with issuance, whereas GDP per capita is positively associated with green (β=0.379, p=0.001), blue (β=0.1148, p=0.017), and proxy issuance (β=0.1148, p=0.037). This pattern is consistent with a capacityconditioned view, in which fiscal and capital-market capacity precedes thematic bond issuance. The models explain little within-country variation (R²=0.033 to 0.079). Post-2015 interactions are significant for green and proxy issuance, but the single pre-period year does not support attribution to the Paris Agreement. Fixed-effects linear probability models yield similar results, whereas PPML estimates are unstable under substantial data separation. Interpretation is limited by sparse issuance observations, uncertain proxy classification, and possible time-varying confounding. The study extends country-level evidence on thematic sustainable bond issuance by examining green and blue bonds alongside an exploratory social/sustainability bond proxy using country fixed effects. GDP per capita is thus more consistently associated with issuance than historical climate-impact rankings, although the underlying mechanisms cannot be established.

Refereed Research - Health Is The Greatest Wealth: A Research Agenda For Subsistence Marketplaces, Samanthika Gallage Dr Nov 2026

Refereed Research - Health Is The Greatest Wealth: A Research Agenda For Subsistence Marketplaces, Samanthika Gallage Dr

Subsistence Marketplaces

Health is a major challenge for people who live in subsistence because poverty heightens exposure to disease and weakens access to care. Yet it has received limited and fragmented attention in subsistence marketplaces research. Health decisions are made within the same trade-offs, uncertainty, unfamiliarity and relational exchange that shape other subsistence consumption. At the same time, health also goes beyond other mundane consumption decisions: it demands abstract causal reasoning, carries heightened vulnerability, and depends on information and trust that consumers cannot easily verify. Therefore, this paper argues that health should be treated as a core area of study in subsistence …

Surprising Payouts In Parimutuel Numbers Games, Anthony Gamst, Skip Garibaldi Nov 2026

Surprising Payouts In Parimutuel Numbers Games, Anthony Gamst, Skip Garibaldi

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

When legal numbers games first appeared in the United States, something surprising happened: Payouts were high, then decreased significantly to a steady state, all without any changes to the rules or payout formula.  We resolve this mystery.  Using a formula for the expected payout developed in a companion paper, together with new data sets on how gamblers choose which numbers to bet on, we simulate parimutuel numbers games under varying assumptions about gambler behavior.  Even after combining the observed sales growth with a deliberately large migration from straight wagers toward box and pair wagers, the simulation explains only about half …

Financial Inclusion And Npas: Implications For Bank Profitability In India, Jyoti Parjapati, Latika Sharma, Dr. Jai Kishan Chandel Nov 2026

Financial Inclusion And Npas: Implications For Bank Profitability In India, Jyoti Parjapati, Latika Sharma, Dr. Jai Kishan Chandel

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Financial inclusion, NPAs, and bank profitability are well-studied, but not in developing nations. In 2005 06 to 2022-23 panel data, Financial Inclusion (FI) and Non-Performing Assets (NPA) affect Indian public and private bank profitability. Quantile regression examines bank profitability’s impact. Non-performing asset management enhances bank profitability, highlighting the long-term benefits of inclusion schemes with effective risk management. The study shows that bank profitability and type affect these three factors. Banks’ large client bases boost profitability, while administrative costs lower it. FI benefits private banks but damages state banks. The essay urges authorities to include NPA in financial inclusion to enhance …
