Abstract

In this study, we examine the relationship between country-level EPU and MSCI ESG Leaders for the US and the UK using wavelet coherence analysis and daily data. We find a significant negative relationship between ESG indices and EPU. However, the existence of the significant negative relationship depends on certain time scales and dates. For both countries, the ESG indices lead the EPU in general. However, for certain time scales and dates, EPU leads the ESG indices.
