 Studies in Economics and Finance

Special issue on Sustainable Finance

Call for Papers
Guest Editors: Dr. Tonmoy Choudhury, Dr. Harald Kinateder

Submissions open 30th January 2023

Studies in Economics and Finance seeks submissions for a special issue on
“Sustainable Finance”. The main goal of this special issue is to focus on issues
surrounding the theoretical and practical elements of Sustainable Finance and their
implications on financial markets and political science. The ultimate objective of
Sustainable Finance is to enhance economic and financial performance for consumers,
businesses, and society while positively influencing the environment and society. In this
regard, the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations have been a
critical concern for the financial industry in the current world while making investment
and financing decisions, especially in the vision of COP 21 (Batten et al., 2018, Cantele
and Zardini, 2018, Drempetic et al., 2020, Rubbaniy et al., 2022). For example, as part
of the environmental considerations, it is essential to protect biodiversity, reduce
pollution, promote a circular economy, and preserve the climate by boosting renewable
energy sources (Calvet et al., 2022, Javadi and Masum, 2021, Ramezani et al., 2022).
Adopting these sustainable practices helps businesses succeed in day-to-day
operations (Kinateder et al., 2021, Choudhury et al., 2021). Organizations play a crucial
role in this situation by directing money toward environmentally friendly enterprises and
technology to assist economic development for enduring circular economies (Saha et al.,
2019). In this regard, Sustainable Finance has considerably changed through time to the
point where it is now seen as a statutory need for sustained growth (Zhang et al., 2021).
Although the idea of Sustainable Finance is gaining popularity around the world, some
restrictions might prevent this shift. The most crucial one is changing company models to
achieve sustainable development. Significant obstacles also exist in quantifying and
managing ecological and social risk factors. Numerous financial organizations have
decided to become carbon neutral. Finally, one of the critical obstacles to financing
green growth is mobilizing sustainable savings.
In particular, we are interested in full-length studies that have not been published or
submitted elsewhere. Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

• The Green Bond market

• Financial ecosystem for green savings
• Credit risk management of green financing
• Impact of environmental regulations on market liquidity
• Effect of climate change on systemic risk in the financial system
• Influence of carbon emissions on investment returns
• Financing sustainable production and consumption
• ESG factors in a post-COVID world
• The performance of ESG stock portfolios
• Fiscal policies to foster the transition to sustainable business models
