摘要：This study examines whether bonk markets price verifiable environmental outcomes using China's carbon neutrality bonds (CNBs), which require issuers to disclose quantified and independently verified carbon emission reductions. We find that CNBs exhibit significantly lower yield spreads than both conventional green bonds and ordinary bonds, indicating a stronger green premium. More importantly, the magnitude of the premium is directly linked to environmental output: bonds promising larger reductions in CO₂ emissions have lower financing costs. Mechanism analyses show that verified carbon disclosures reduce information asymmetry, attract investors with environmental preferences, and serve as credible signals in weaker institutional environments. Overall, the evidence shows that standardized carbon-reduction metrics are priced in bond markets.
