This paper investigates how oil price (OP) influences the prospects of green bonds by utilising quantile-onquantile (QQ) method and researching interactions between OP bond index (GBI) from 2011:M1 to 2021:M11. We find that impacts on GBI are positive in short run. The effects indicate high can promote development market, indicating be considered an asset avoid shocks. However, medium long term...

OBJECTIVE Prediction of speech recognition (SR) and quality of life (QoL) outcomes after cochlear implantation is one of the most important challenges for otologists. By sifting through very large amounts of data, data mining reveals trends, patterns, and relationships that might otherwise have remained undetected. There are identifiable pre-implantational factors that condition the cochlear im...

This study investigates the long- and short-run effects of crude oil price (COP) economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on China’s green bond index (GBI) using quantile autoregressive distributed lag model. The empirical results show that COP EPU produce a significant positive negative influence GBI in long-run across most quantiles, respectively, but their counterparts are opposite direction only h...
