Absztrakt:
A tanulmány az ESG-tényezők és a vállalati hitelkockázat kapcsolatát elemző szakirodalmat kutatja bibliometriai és szisztematikus irodalomfeldolgozás módszerével, a 2020–2024 között megjelent tudományos publikációkat dolgozva fel. Közülük 61 releváns tanulmányt azonosítottunk és vizsgáltunk meg részletesen, elsősorban a kutatási trendekre és az empirikus eredményekre fókuszálva. A szigorodó szabályozás és a piaci érdeklődés miatt az ESG és hitelkockázatra fókuszáló cikkek száma nagymértékben emelkedett. A publikációk többsége szerint a jobb ESG-teljesítmény csökkenti a hitelkockázatot. Elemzésünk több kutatási rést tárt fel: az ESG és a kis- és középvállalati szektor hitelkockázattal való kapcsolatának a vizsgálata, az éghajlati kockázatok vállalati hitelkockázatra és hitelportfólióra gyakorolt hatása, régióspecifikus elemzések, valamint az innovatív mesterséges intelligencián, gépi tanuláson alapuló módszertani keretrendszer alkalmazása lehetnek olyan irányok, amelyek további jelentős hozzáadott értéket teremthetnek mind az akadémiai, mind a piaci közegben.
