EBA-referenced study analysing how CCAR stress-test capital buffers for large U.S. banks impact commercial lending, firm loan volumes, debt, investment, and employment from 2012–2016, with findings relevant to countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) activation effects.

EBA-aligned report proposing a standardized framework for integrating climate transition risks into regulatory stress-tests, focusing on abrupt late and sudden decarbonization scenarios. Covers methodology for assessing equity and corporate bond impacts in climate-sensitive sectors (fossil fuels, power, steel, cement, automotive, aviation) to measure financial stability and impact tolerance.

EBA-supported study by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre examines the 'Greenium'—a negative climate risk premium in European stock returns—highlighting market pricing of green assets, implications for banks, and the need for carbon stress tests to address financial stability risks.
