Abstract Text | One of the concerns in the debate on climate change is whether financial flows contribute to the reduction of emissions. This presentation looks at the role bond market- and bank-based debt play in the allocation of resources to fossil fuel in the context of the risk of stranded assets. The presentation shows that banks continue to provide financing to fossil fuel firms that the bond market would not finance as long as they do not price the risk of stranded assets. In this setting, stranded assets risks may have shifted to large banks. |
