Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of climate policy uncertainty on labor outsourcing among Chinese-listed companies from 2012 to 2022. We find that increased climate policy uncertainty prompts firms to choose labor outsourcing. The results hold even after several robustness tests and controlling for endogeneity. Moreover, our cross-sectional analyses indicate that the main effect is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises and firms without government employment stability subsidies.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
