The Russia–Ukraine outbreak and the value of renewable energy

Author

  • Liao, Shushu

Abstract

The paper studies the role of renewable energy in the stock market reaction to the Russia–Ukraine crisis. The examination of equity prices reveals that European firms with a larger share of ex-ante purchased or produced renewables experience less stock return decline in the Russia–Ukraine outbreak period.
