Investigating the nexus between sovereign green and vanilla bonds in the secondary market

摘要

I test for Granger non-causality between green and conventional (plain vanilla) bond yields/prices in the secondary market for each domestic sovereign green bond outstanding in September 2023. Results dominantly show no causality, which–in light of the co-movement of the related time series–suggests the non-stable motives of the green investors. To complement the causality analysis, I also examine possible cointegrating relationships. These results show that long-term links are mostly highly unstable, which also indicates investor ‘flexibility’ rather than a stable green commitment. I argue that the presented non-structural approach offers a practical screening tool to support further case-by-case structural analyses or financial engineering per se.
