- Abstract
With the rapid development of machine learning and big data techniques, modelling and predictive analysis have been applied broadly in the financial area. From stock market prediction [11] to decision making support for financial institutions [9], researchers have shown that machine learning and big data techniques can be used in practical applications and make invaluable contributions. As sustainable development has become a worldwide consensus, the author is trying to justify whether the ESG disclosure score will affect a investment banking company’s financial performance. The author used the data from S&P 1500, and selected the company’s total assets, the Tobin’s Q ratio and the return on common equity as the indicators of a company’s financial performance. The author starts by building full regression models and using backward elimination to improve the model performance. The threshold of the F-test was set to be 0.05, and the results suggested that the ESG disclosure score has a significant non-linear correlation with the company's financial performance.
