  <dc:description xml:lang="eng">Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to study municipal green bonds as fixed-income
instruments used for environmentally friendly projects. This research was
motivated by the absence of an effective global CO2 pricing scheme, making
green bonds one of the most important instruments to tackle climate
change. After an overview of the U.S. municipal green bond market, yields
of municipal green bonds vs. ordinary municipal bonds were analysed.
S&amp;P U.S. Municipal Green Bond Index and S&amp;P U.S. Municipal Bond Index
were used in the study. The methodological framework includes a review
of relevant literature, descriptive statistics with correlation analysis and
hypotheses testing. As initially expected, significant positive correlation
between green bond and ordinary bond yields was found, where green
municipal bonds generate slightly lower yields than otherwise similar
ordinary bonds. The existence of a statistically significant yield discount,
i.e., a green premium, has not been confirmed</dc:description>

Cilj ovog rada jeste proučavanje zelenih obveznica kao instrumenata
sa fiksnim prinosom koji se koriste za finansiranje ekološki prihvatljivih
projekata. Motivacija za ovo istraživanje rezultat je odsustva efektivnog
globalnog mehanizma taksi na emisiju CO2, što zelene obveznice čini
jednim od najvažnijih instrumenata za borbu protiv klimatskih promena.
Nakon pregleda tržišta zelenih obveznica lokalnih samouprava u SAD,
analiziran je prinos zelenih obveznica u odnosu na prinos konvencionalnih
obveznica lokalnih samouprava. U istraživanju su korišćeni S&amp;P U.S. indeksi
zelenih i konvencionalnih obveznica lokalnih samouprava. Metodološki
okvir obuhvata pregled relevantne literature, deskriptivne statistike sa
korelacionom analizom i testiranje hipoteza. Kao što je inicijalno očekivano,
pronađena je značajna pozitivna korelacija prinosa zelenih i klasičnih
municipalnih obveznica, kao i to da zelene municipalne obveznice u
proseku generišu nešto niži prinos u odnosu na slične klasične obveznice.
Nije potvrđeno postojanje statistički značajnog prinosnog diskonta,
odnosno cenovne premije kod zelenih obveznica</dc:description>
