Climate Transition Risk, ESG Rating Divergence and Portfolio Performance: Evidence From Composite Scores and Climate‐Adjusted Factor Models

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how ESG rating divergences and climate transition risks jointly influence portfolio performance. Using a newly constructed composite Environmental (E) score derived from principal component analysis (PCA) across three leading ESG providers (Eikon, RobecoSAM, Sustainalytics), we build industry‐adjusted portfolios for 389

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.
