The aim of the article is to analyze the basic variants of dealing with accounting goodwill in invested capital and their impact on the income valuation of the company. On the real case of Pivovary Staropramen, s.r.o., the article demonstrates three ways to work with goodwill – keep it in the invested capital in net value, report it at the original gross value, or completely remove goodwill from the invested capital.

Green Bonds – does green financing bring economic benefits? An introductory analysis on selected European data

Petr Jablonský, František Poborský

Oceňování 2025, 18(2):43-54 | DOI: 10.18267/j.ocenovani.303  

This article analyzes the economic benefits of green bonds issued by European issuers by examining their yields compared to conventional bonds, taking into account ESG factors. The analysis is based on comparing the adjusted z-spread in individual groups of bonds with a Baa1 rating. Our results show that green bonds can provide a price advantage for longer maturities, which indicates longer-term economic effects of ESG factors. We also find that the environmental score has an impact on the size of z-spreads (directly proportional), especially for shorter maturities.
