[英文摘要] :
Prior studies argue the better ESG rating firms have lower risk. This study uses Taiwan samples to investigate if the ESG rating matters to firm’s default risk. Due to the ESG rating information is limited, this study obtains open access data from MSCI ESG rating system and get 66 Taiwanese samples that have rating record in the period of 2017 to 2021. We find no evidence that ESG rating firms have lower industry adjusted default risks. Nor the firms experience rating improvement have lower default risks. In addition, the better ESG rating firms have higher default risk comparing to other lower ESG samples. Finally, we show the ESG rating firms have lower Sharpe ratio. We don’t conclude the ESG rating matters negative to default risks due to the limitation of data but strongly recommend the ESG rating information should be opened to public for free.
