Abstract

Focusing on the recently announced "KOSPI 200 ESG Index," this study intends to examine whether the "KOSPI 200 ESG Index" has any relevance to stock prices. Specifically, it was empirically analyzed whether companies included in the KOSPI 200 ESG index showed average abnormal return and cumulative average abnormal return of stock prices due to incorporation into the index. As for the research method, the case study was conducted using the return by the market model using the coefficient estimated by the OLS for the normal expected return. The study results are summarized as follows. First, the initial incorporation of a company into the KOSPI 200 ESG index showed significant positive(+) average abnormal return and cumulative average abnormal return. Second, the incorporation of a company into the KOSPI 200 ESG index showed significant positive(+) average abnormal return and cumulative average abnormal return. Through this study, it was confirmed that investors in the market are aware of ESG indicators as non-financial information, not just financial information. In addition, it can be said that the contribution of this study to the fact that investors perceive ESG index as information for investment. This study differs in that it uses the latest ESG index, but at the same time, it has limitations in that the study period is short and the study sample is limited.

본 연구는 최근 발표된 "코스피 200 ESG 지수"를 중심으로 과연 "코스피 200 ESG 지수"가 주가와의 관련성이 있는 지를 살펴보고자 한다. 구체적으로 코스피 200 ESG 지수의 편입 기업이 지수편입으로 인한 주가의 평균초과수익률과 누적평균초과수익률을 나타내는 지 실증 분석하였다. 연구방법은 정상적 기대수익률을 OLS에 의해 추정된 계수를 이용한 시장모형(market model)에 의한 수익률을 사용하여 사건연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과를 요약해보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 코스피 200 ESG 지수 최초 편입은 유의한 양(+)의 평균초과수익률과 누적평균초과수익률을 나타냈다. 둘째, 기업의 코스피 200 ESG 지수 편입은 유의한 양(+)의 평균초과수익률과 누적평균초과수익률을 나타냈다. 본 연구를 통하여 시장에서 투자자들이 단순히 재무정보만이 아닌 비재무적 정보로서 ESG 지표에 대한 인식을 하고 있다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 더불어 투자자는 ESG지수를 투자를 위한 정보로 인식한다는 점을 실증적으로 분석한 점이 본 연구의 기여점이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최신의 ESG 지수를 이용했다는 점에서 차별점이 있지만, 동시에 연구기간이 짧고 연구표본이 제한적이라는 점에서 한계점을 지닌다.
