Abstract

Green innovation is the core element for China to accelerate the construction of a green, low-carbon and circular economy and cultivate green productive forces. It is of great practical significance to study the spillover effect of the green practices of peer companies from the perspective of green innovation. Based on the government green procurement lists, this paper empirically examined the impact and mechanism of peer companies obtaining government green procurement on target company's green innovation using a fixed-effect model with a sample of Chinese A-listed companies from 2004 to 2018. The results suggested that (1) peer companies obtaining government green procurement promotes target company's green innovation, including increasing the number of corporate green innovation and improving the quality of corporate green innovation, which indicates that peer companies obtaining government green procurement have a positive spillover effect on target company's green innovation; (2) The positive spillover impact is greater for target enterprises with higher media attention, and target enterprises in regions with a higher degree of financial information disclosure and stronger government auditing supervision; (3) The learning mechanism and competition mechanism are the main transmission paths of the positive spillover effect of peer companies obtaining government green procurement on the target company's green innovation. This paper has confirmed the spillover effect of government green procurement, and expanded the cognitive boundaries of the factors influencing corporate green innovation, which will not only provide empirical evidence for releasing the dividends of government green procurement policy, but also evoke insights for building a green technology innovation system and achieving the construction of a beautiful China.

Abstract

本文基于手工收集的2016--2018年中国A股上市公司精准扶贫信息，深入研究企业参与脱贫攻坚对投资效率的影响及作用机制.研究发现：企业参与脱贫攻坚力度越大，投资效率越高；随着媒体关注度的提高，企业参与脱贫攻坚对投资效率的正效应增强；与国有企业相比，非国有企业参与脱贫攻坚更能够提高企业投资效率.中介效应检验发现，企业参与脱贫攻坚能够通过降低信息不对称和代理成本、缓解融资约束以及提高企业声誉等路径提高企业投资效率.本文丰富了脱贫攻坚的相关研究，有利于企业管理者更深层次理解将企业理想融入国家战略对企业经营尤其是长远发展的重要意义，同时为相关政府部门引导企业参与乡村振兴战略，提高企业发展质量以及扎实推动共同富裕提供了新的治理思路.

Abstract

环境污染及其引致的环境规制成本是否有助于促进企业进行绿色转型?这是社会各界共同关注的重要问题.利用2014-2018年A股工业企业作为研究样本，实证检验了空气污染是否以及如何影响企业的绿色创新行为.研究发现，企业所在城市的空气污染越严重，其未来的绿色创新水平越高.平均而言，城市空气污染水平每增加1个百分点，公司的绿色创新水平将提升0.75个百分点，相关影响同时具有统计显著性和经济显著性.进一步的机制检验发现，空气污染主要通过政府环境治理和公众环保监督倒逼企业提高其绿色创新水平，空气污染对企业绿色创新的促进作用在媒体关注度高和融资约束低的企业中表现得更强.此外，绿色创新显著提高了企业的长期市场价值.总之，文章丰富了空气污染微观经济后果和企业绿色创新影响因素等领域的研究文献，能够为国家制定污染防治的政策措施提供理论支持和经验证据.

Abstract

本文以2016—2020年沪深A股上市公司为样本,从企业竞争程度的视角,研究公共政策审计对公平竞争的影响。结果表明,公共政策审计提高了发现问题地区企业的竞争程度。机制检验结果表明,公共政策审计有助于降低政府不当干预,营造竞争公平的市场环境从而提高企业竞争程度。进一步研究发现,公共政策审计对企业竞争程度的促进作用在竞争能力较弱企业中更显著;公共政策审计对区域限制类问题的揭示能够提高该地区企业的竞争程度;审计介入次数越多、问题描述越详细、问题影响范围越大,越有利于提高发现问题地区企业的竞争程度。

On the basis of constructing the index of “urban green development concern”, this paper manually identifies and measures urban green development concern according to the municipal government work report, and examines the influence of urban green development concern on enterprises’ green technological innovation by using individual fixed-effects model. The study finds that urban green development concern can promote enterprises’ green technological innovation, and there are three channels of action: environmental regulation, CSR strategic response and enterprise green investment, and the overseas experience of executives and media attention positively regulate enterprises’ green technological innovation under urban green development concern. This paper confirms that firms perceiving the green development concept will make strategic responses and resource allocation adjustments.

The Bartik instrument is formed by interacting local industry shares and national industry growth rates. We show that the typical use of a Bartik instrument assumes a pooled exposure research design, where the shares measure differential exposure to common shocks, and identification is based on exogeneity of the shares. Next, we show how the Bartik instrument weights each of the exposure designs. Finally, we discuss how to assess the plausibility of the research design. We illustrate our results through two applications: estimating the elasticity of labor supply, and estimating the elasticity of substitution between immigrants and natives.
