Abstract

This paper provides a new perspective on the role of climate attention in the media for returns of green energy stocks. Making use of a data set that includes various measures of sentiments and media attention in newspapers and social media related to 1) carbon credit and 2) stock markets, we disentangle the drivers of green stock returns. Our results for various green stock indices suggest that green stock returns are not only driven by stock-related news but also driven by sentiment related to carbon credit news. We also show that the underlying news source (social media vs. newspapers) matters. News related to uncertainty around carbon credit in conventional newspapers is accompanied by decreasing returns. In social media, future-oriented pessimistic emotions relate negatively and recent positive sentiment relates positively to green stock returns.
