The paper explores the rapid growth of the green bond market (GBM) in Asian economies and its impact on carbon dioxide emissions trends between 2001 and 2016. We use Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis combined with exponential smoothing techniques to examine a holistic dataset of 38 green bonds from Thomson Reuters Datastream, covering six Asian countries: Mainland China, Singapore, Myanmar, Thailand, South Korea, and Malaysia. The sample will include 30 similar green-conventional bond pairings, allowing a strict comparative evaluation. We develop a new performance assessment model for e-business companies, driven by changing consumer demands arising from the green energy transition and green business operations. The analysis of the decomposition shows that the index of carbonization (energy efficiency effect), corporate sustainability (measured by green bond employment indices), and labor market dynamics are the significant factors in emission reduction. Our results show that the carbonization effect has changed its value to negative, and with this negative value, emission decelerations have been observed in industrial subsectors. These relationships are statistically significant at the 1 per cent level, as attested to by econometric estimations that have been tested using panel-corrected standard errors. Moreover, the growth of digital connectivity, as well as research and development investments, is an essential driver of the development of the green bond market in environmentally problematic Asian economies. The exploration establishes the fundamental market barriers, such as unsatisfactory risk characterization models, a lack of regulatory frameworks, and limited investor demand, and provides standardization practices as the most common tools for increasing the adoption of green bonds. The policy implications include tightening the financial performance requirements for corporations, expanding interactions with emerging markets, diversifying the issuance of currency-denominated instruments beyond Euro-dominated instruments, and encouraging regulatory support for large amounts of per-issuer funding. The implications of these results are far-reaching to the Asian economies that are largely polluting and aim to achieve compliance with the Kyoto Protocol and green growth goals in the short and medium term through sustainable finance.
