Abstract: We examine the impact and degree of compliance with Green Bond Principles (GBPs) on investor demand for Green Bonds (GBs) in G20 countries by employing cross‐sectional regression to analyse data over the period 2007–2016. After controlling for common bond‐specific and macroeconomic variables, we find a significant positive impact of higher compliance with principles on investor demand, as measured by bid‐ask spread and yield spread. We show that GBs issued by government institutions are able to minimise the adverse effects of low compliance with GBPs and the investor demand for fixed‐coupon GBs is higher than float‐coupon GBs.
