Using a sample of U.S. listed firms from 2012 to 2023, we discover a consistent negative effect of ESG decoupling on R&D investment, indicating opposite effects from ESG brown-washing versus green-washing. Brown-washing firms exhibit a significant increase in R&D investment. Cross-sectional tests support the strategic incentive that a more pronounced positive effect observed in smaller firms, firms facing greater financial constraints and market competition, and among high-tech firms. In contrast, we find that green-washing firms experience a significant decrease in R&D investment. The decrease in R&D investment among green-washing firms is mitigated by more stringent corporate governance enforced by institutional investors, but is further amplified among firms facing greater market competition and high-tech firms, suggesting that green-washing firms with decreased R&D investment are subject to managerial opportunism. Our findings remain robust to different subsets of benchmarking normal firms and alternative measurement. In addition, we find that the capital market responds positively to ESG green-washing and negatively towards brown-washing, which implies a favorable attitude toward floated ESG disclosure from the investors. Overall, our study unveils the important role of ESG decoupling in reshaping corporate investment decision and contribute to the growing literature on ESG decoupling.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2021, we found that Confucian culture in audit firms significantly promotes the level of corporate ESG disclosure. We also tested the moderating effect of regional culture and corporate culture, and found that in regions with stronger merchant guild culture and higher levels of social trust, as well as in companies with a stronger culture of integrity and cooperation, the promotion effect of Confucian culture in audit firms on corporate ESG disclosure is more pronounced. Furthermore, we discovered that the closer the geographical distance between audit firms and client companies, the greater the positive impact of Confucian culture in audit firms on corporate ESG disclosure. Overall, this study reveals the modern value of Confucian traditional culture for the improvement of enterprises’ environmental friendly behaviors from the perspective of external audit, and highlighted the relevance of informal institutions in corporate governance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102276"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142088791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Quantile-on-Quantile regression is used to study the time–frequency impact of climate risks and oil shocks on energy futures across different market conditions and investment horizons. Our empirical results are as follows: First, climate transition risks, oil demand and risk shocks play mediating roles in risk transmission channels. Second, the impact of climate risks and oil shocks on energy futures is heterogeneous and asymmetric under extreme conditions. Notably, global warming, oil supply shock and international climate summits are the greatest shocks to China’s energy market. Finally, climate risks and oil shocks are more pronounced in the short term.
