Vad styr den etiska fondefterfrågan?
Om vilka faktorer som som påvekar den etiska fondförmögenheten.
This paper examines what affects the demand for five Swedish ethical funds between the years 1997-2007. The purpose of this study is to examine if there is a relation between fund value and other values than just financial. This study examines if the number of conflicts in the world and the media?s coverage of the climate change debate could have an impact on the demand for ethical fund. A multiple linear regression shows that we don?t have a significant result from the examined variables except for household wealth. The regression results indicate that only household wealth is significant to explain the demand for ethical funds. It?s interesting to see that risk premium isn?t significant for the decision to invest in the ethical funds we studied. The study shows that statics inferens cannot be used to show these correlations for conflict and climate.
