The dissertation analyzes the relationship between climate change and financial markets, with the aim of clarifying how environmental risks are progressively incorporated into theoretical models and asset prices. It examines the contributions of the literature on rare disasters, recursive preferences, and transition risks, showing how these factors affect risk premia, interest rates, and portfolio choices. The analysis extends to empirical evidence concerning equity markets, credit, and the banking sector, highlighting the systemic nature of climate risk. A critical discussion follows, aimed at underscoring the theoretical and institutional implications of these dynamics and outlining possible directions for future research. The analysis confirms that climate change does not represent an external variable but rather a structural determinant of contemporary finance.
L'elaborato analizza il legame tra cambiamento climatico e mercati finanziari, con l’obiettivo di chiarire come i rischi ambientali vengano progressivamente incorporati nei modelli teorici e nei prezzi degli asset. Vengono esaminati i contributi della letteratura sui disastri rari, sulle preferenze ricorsive e sui rischi di transizione, mostrando come tali fattori incidano su premi al rischio, tassi di interesse e scelte di portafoglio. L’analisi si estende alle evidenze empiriche relative ai mercati azionari, al credito e al settore bancario, evidenziando il carattere sistemico del rischio climatico. Segue un approfondimento critico, volto a mettere in luce le implicazioni teoriche e istituzionali di queste dinamiche e a delineare possibili direzioni di ricerca futura. L’analisi conferma che il cambiamento climatico non rappresenta una variabile esterna, ma una determinante strutturale della finanza contemporanea.

Abstract
The dissertation analyzes the relationship between climate change and financial markets, with the aim of clarifying how environmental risks are progressively incorporated into theoretical models and asset prices. It examines the contributions of the literature on rare disasters, recursive preferences, and transition risks, showing how these factors affect risk premia, interest rates, and portfolio choices. The analysis extends to empirical evidence concerning equity markets, credit, and the banking sector, highlighting the systemic nature of climate risk. A critical discussion follows, aimed at underscoring the theoretical and institutional implications of these dynamics and outlining possible directions for future research. The analysis confirms that climate change does not represent an external variable but rather a structural determinant of contemporary finance.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
