• Relationship between carbon emissions and financial performance: fixed-effects panel model focused on sectoral and regulatory heterogeneity (2026) · Quality & Quantity · doi

  Significant methodological and theoretical uncertainty persists in the relationship between corporate carbon emissions and financial performance. Empirical evidence lacks an integrated theoretical framework that systematically explains how and why this relationship varies across sectoral and regulatory contexts.

• Relationship between carbon emissions and financial performance: fixed-effects panel model focused on sectoral and regulatory heterogeneity (2026) · Quality & Quantity · doi

  Further research is needed to explore the relationship between carbon emissions and financial performance in different sectors and regulatory contexts. The development of more accurate and reliable methods for estimating Scope 3 emissions is necessary. The study's findings suggest the importance of industry-specific approaches to decarbonization, which could be explored in future research.
