Abstract

The neutrality of SRI in the AD-GE model by Arnold (2023) ceases to hold once the law of one price is violated for an asset that sufficiently many individuals (a single one may suffice) are not indifferent towards.

The neutrality of SRI in the AD-GE model by Arnold (2023) ceases to hold once the law of one price is violated for an asset that sufficiently many individuals (a single one may suffice) are not indifferent towards. The introduction of a green bond priced at a premium leads to an illusory gain, that is, a pure utility gain accompanied by a reduction of consumption, of green investors. Their financial losses are allocated to those that were sufficiently un-green to not buy too many green bonds themselves. To profit financially this way, an individual needs to start out as (partial) owner of a firm that “turns out” to be a green bond issuer. Impact investing still does not generate environmental impact in this model.
