The Resource-Exhausted City Promotion (RECP) program is a significant initiative by the Chinese government aimed at fostering transformation. RECP constitutes vital avenue for advancing low-carbon transformation, though its influence on microenterprises’ carbon emissions and underlying mechanisms remains unexplored. We use China’s industrial enterprise database from 2003 to 2014 organize data concerning resource-exhausted cities in China. Employing staggered Difference-in-Differences (staggered DID) method, research investigates impact of emission intensity. Results show that intensity significantly negative. This effect more enterprises areas with lower environmental protection pressure, those situated mining cities, larger enterprises, exhibiting higher Furthermore, we identify influencing channels above as screening tourism development level. resulting exit highly polluting industries can exacerbate negative Meanwhile, enhancing level region key strategy further reduce emerges crucial approach reducing within framework. results this study contribute driving implementation such enterprises.

As global attention to the issue of climate change grows, concepts carbon peaking and neutrality, proposed by China, have increasingly gained traction. In this international context, digital technology green development are closely interwoven, carving out a distinct path for countries worldwide achieve emission reduction goals. This study empirically explores mechanism how transformation impacted emissions Chinese A-share listed manufacturing enterprises from 2007 2021. The results indicate significant inverted U-shaped nonlinear connection between within enterprises. Green innovation, which is among crucial driving forces sustainable development, can act as mediating factor. External environmental regulations positively moderate relationship in firms. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis reveals that impact on particularly western regions, non-resource-based cities, light industry sectors, large-scale paper innovatively verifies, at micro level, enterprises, well its underlying mechanism. It provides theoretical support practical guidance effective implementation sector. Meanwhile, it also offers valuable insights formulate strategies take both into account, thereby contributing achievement development.

This paper investigates the critical role of government policies in promoting green development through enterprise-level innovation (GI). We specifically examine impact environmental subsidies (ES) on heavily polluting enterprises and analyze how enforcement (EE) moderates this relationship. Furthermore, we explore these effects vary across different ES characteristics allocation patterns. Using data from heavy-polluting listed China’s A-share market 2012 to 2021, our analysis reveals several key findings. First, has unexpectedly hindered GI enterprises. negative effect stems both Specifically, advance subsidies, targeted pollution prevention prove ineffective. The adverse is particularly pronounced state-owned enterprises, companies lacking protection investments, firms engaging earnings management practices. However, findings indicate that strong can effectively mitigate ES-related issues. Under strict EE, demonstrates a positive addresses problems associated with design These results offer valuable insights for policymakers, developing countries undergoing transition, implement more effective policies.

ABSTRACT Despite the recognized importance of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) in advancing firms' performance emerging economies like China, its role enhancing (EP) remains underexplored existing literature. Drawing on institutional perspective, this study aims to investigate relationship between CER and EP how factors—such as political ties (PT), development, industry competition—shape relationship. Using a dataset 635 Chinese‐listed firms from 2011 2022, we test theoretical model using fixed‐effects regression model. The results demonstrate that positively influences EP. Additionally, findings reveal PT development strengthen positive EP, while competition weakens it. These remain robust across alternative measures endogeneity checks, including Heckman two‐stage, Propensity Score Matching, two‐stage least squares, 1‐year lag Overall, contributes business ethics management literature by providing new insights into conditions under which impacts Moreover, it offers valuable practical implications for managers policymakers implementing improve outcomes more effectively.
