March 22nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Peter Tankov (ENSAE) Title: Decarbonization of financial markets: a mean-field game approach
Abstract:We build a model of a financial market where a large number offirms determine their dynamic emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors.The firms aim to achieve a trade-off between financial and environ-mental performance, while interacting through the stochastic discountfactor, determined in equilibrium by the investors’ allocations. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then presenta convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium andillustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence ofgreen-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics andshare prices. We show that uncertainty about future climate risks andpolicies leads to higher overall emissions and higher spreads betweenshare prices of green and brown companies. This effect is partially reversed in the presence of environmentally concerned investors, whoseimpact on the cost of capital spurs companies to reduce emissions.
