This figure plots the equal-weighted cross-sectional average of the four climate change exposure measures for the U.S. subsample from 2002 to 2022. Panel A displays the overall climate change exposure (𝐶𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒). Panels B, C, and D display the exposure related to opportunities (𝐶𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒$%% ), regulatory shocks (𝐶𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒&'(), and physical shocks (𝐶𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒)*+), respectively. All exposure measures are scaled by a factor of 1,000. The vertical lines mark key climate-related policy events or significant physical events in the U.S. All exposure measures are constructed from quarterly earnings call transcripts and aggregated to the firmyear level. Appendix A provides detailed variable definitions.
