Abstract
ABSTRACT As the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) implements rules to improve and standardize climate-related disclosures among public companies and the climate change dilemma unfolds, understanding the economic implications of climate risk disclosures becomes crucial for stakeholders. This study aims to synthesize research developments in the climate risk disclosure domain to provide valuable insights into current research trends and identify potential avenues for future research. More specifically, this study identifies prior research that investigates the economic or financial effects of climate disclosures. Prior studies find both positive and negative effects of climate risk and suggest that climate disclosures may mitigate the effects of climate risk. Our review synthesizes the results of prior studies and identifies the prevailing theoretical frameworks used. Based on our assessment of the findings in prior studies, we also reveal emerging research trends and suggestions for future research. Data Availability: The data used in this research are publicly available and can be made available upon request. JEL Classifications: Q54; M41; G32; G38; Q58.
