When green meets green

Journal of Corporate Finance, 2020
We investigate whether and how the environmental consciousness (greenness for short) of firms and banks is reflected in the pricing of bank credit. Using a large international sample of syndicated loans over the period 2011-2019, we find that firms' are indeed rewarded for being green in the form of cheaper loans--however, only when borrowing from a ...
