Media discourse on Green Deal from energy perspective
Kolářová, Marta
Green Deal, the European Commission's initiative to protect the climate and reduce emissions greenhouse gases, has sparked controversy in the Czech public debate. An analysis of media discourse on the Green Deal from an energy perspective shows that the Green Deal is perceived predominantly negatively. In the media, it has been labelled with condemnatory statements and negative characteristics, especially by leading Czech politicians. A more favourable view of it is held by Czech companies, municipalities and experts. The public debate is being transformed in particular by the impact of the war in Ukraine in favour of energy security and accelerating the green transformation.

The Public on Energy Policy and the So-Called European Green Deal - August/September 2023
Červenka, Jan ; Ďurďovič, Martin
In the period from the the end of July to the mid of the third decade of September 2023, a block of questions devoted to energy issues was included in the regular research of Our Society. Part of the questions examined citizens' interest in the energy policy of the Czech Republic and also focused on the issue of the so-called European Green Deal from 2020.\n\nAn incomplete half of Czechs is interested in energy policy, which represents a decline in interest compared to the last survey from 2022 but it remained significantly higher in comparison to all other past surveys.\n\n35% of Czech citizens agree with the Green Deal, 49% disagree with it. At the same time, only one-sixth (17%) of Czech citizens consider the goal of the Green Deal to be achievable, a two-thirds majority think that its goal is not achievable.

This paper seeks to utilize standard economic models (CAPM, 3-factor Fama-French) on latest (January 2018 to December 2021) data. In addition, author seeks to look for performance trend by splitting observed period to one before Covid crisis and during the crisis. Then he will look for any significant impact on funds' performance and its characteristics. Final part consists of observing effect of published articles by news outlet and whether there is any impact. News divided into positive and negative with regards to SRI thematic. Results implies that performance is negatively correlated with higher ranking of social consciousness of fund (ESG value was used) and that manager of funds with lower ESG standards are better at stock-picking. Study did not find any significant long-term effect of Covid crisis while short-term effect suggested greater need for funds to employ stock-picking skill. News effects were generally insignificant with effect of bad news being stronger than effect of positive news. Keywords Financial markets, Socially responsible investing, ESG, market news...
