Short-selling constraints and firm-level climate change exposure: Evidence from utility firms

Economics Letters, 2024, vol. 237, issue C

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of short selling on firm-level climate change exposure in US utility firms during a period when short selling constraints were exogenously suspended. We find evidence that increasing short selling is associated with greater firm-level climate change exposure.
