We highlight that neglecting to account for sample selection bias — only analysing firms that disclose their emissions — can lead to biased covariate estimates. Furthermore, the flexibility of the chosen approach in modelling covariate-response relationships helps in identifying complex behavioural patterns that traditional linear methods often overlook. The findings enhance the understanding of the factors affecting corporate carbon emissions. This information is crucial for policymakers and corporate governance, as it helps identify business conditions associated with lower (higher) emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"247 ","pages":"Article 112188"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
