1研究簡介
該研究分析了董事政治關聯對我國汙染企業排汙的影響。研究發現董事會官員董事比例與企業排汙費繳納份額成負向關係。進一步研究發現此種負向關係會受到地區環保導向,企業環境責任承擔導向和官員董事級別的影響。
2論文摘要
This study empirically investigates the role of political connections in corporate environmental spending. It employs a sample of listed Chinese firms from polluting industries within the 2010–2013 period. Our empirical results show that having politicians as directors reduces the magnitude of discharge fees. We also find that such reductions are more pronounced in firms with a higher ratio of politically connected directors (i.e., listed Chinese polluting firms that are privately controlled). This negative relationship is robust to various model specifications (e.g., a sample of polluting firms after addressing the sample selection bias and reverse causality without an increase in new investment). Moreover, we observe that the negative relationship between political connections and discharge fees is stronger in listed Chinese polluting firmslocated in more polluted regions. Meanwhile, a polluting firm’s incentive to engage in environmental protection, measured by firm-level environmental awards(incidents), alleviates (exacerbates) the negative relationship. Finally, the impact of politically connected directors on discharge levies is explicitly driven by having local officials and officials from the home province as directors.
