Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract We investigate the relationship between climate beliefs and attitudes (CBA) and bank risk management. We find that county-level CBA is positively associated with bank loan loss reserves (ALL) and provisions (LLP), suggesting that banks set aside higher reserves to cushion potential losses when managers believe in climate change. Further analyses using multiple approaches indicate that CBA has incremental explanatory power over climate risk in influencing ALL and LLP—this is an important insight since prior banking literature has mainly focused on climate risk. Our results are robust to various checks, and we show that CBA is negatively related to bank loan portfolio risk and overall bank risk-taking. In consequence tests, we document that CBA attenuates the positive relationship between climate risk and bank risk. Our study suggests that CBA is a behavioral impetus for bank managers to be more prudent in managing climate risk exposures via conservative loan loss accounting.
