- Abstract
- The aim of the master thesis is to analyze whether the issues and news related to ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) impact the valuations on the financial markets and consequently the volatility. A special focus will be put on environmental issues and thus, an integration of a climate factor in the Fama-French model will complete the research.
