Abstract

The effectiveness of promoting sustainable development depends on the efficiency of formulating and implementing applicable policies. Based on a sample of Chinese listed companies from 2011 to 2022, this study reveals a significant enhancement of the environmental protection taxes in corporate ESG performance. The finding indicates that implementing environmental protection taxes can effectively enhance ESG performance omnidirectionally. This impact operates mainly through reducing audit fees. These findings enhance and broaden the current body of literature and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of macro policies on individual agents.

环境保护税、审计费用和企业环境、社会和治理绩效
促进可持续发展的有效性取决于制定和实施适用政策的效率。本研究以 2011 年至 2022 年的中国上市公司为样本,揭示了环境保护税对企业环境、社会和治理绩效的显著提升作用。研究结果表明,征收环境保护税可以全方位地有效提升企业的环境、社会和治理绩效。这种影响主要通过降低审计费用来实现。这些发现加强并拓宽了现有的文献体系,有助于更全面地理解宏观政策对个体行为主体的影响。
