This study empirically examined the impact of temperature variation on the scale of international trade using data on Chinese listed firms' import and export and annual temperature changes in Chinese cities and trade partners from 2000 to 2016. The results indicated that temperature changes in firms' headquarter cities and in trade partners were significantly and negatively associated with the scale of imports and exports. Firms' operational capabilities in home country and meteorological disasters in trade partners were key channels through which temperature variation affected trade outcomes. The negative effects of temperature fluctuations in both locations were stronger for heat-sensitive firms, non-state-owned firms, firms with high research and development investment, and firms trading with low-income partners. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between climate volatility and international trade.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"34 1","pages":"224-255"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146007770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a crosscountry dataset, a measure of environmental demand was constructed based on population exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations exceeding 10 μg/m<sup>3</sup>. The results show that a 1 percent increase in relative domestic environmental demand increased GVC participation, raising relative production length by 0.125 percent in forward-linked GVCs and by 0.175 percent in backward-linked GVCs. Two mechanisms were identified: an intermediate climbing effect, through which higher domestic demand promoted upstream integration, and an induced innovation effect, through which larger market scale stimulated technological advancement. These findings indicate that countries with substantial environmental pressures and large domestic markets can leverage domestic environmental demand to enhance their positions in global environmental value chains and support green development.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"34 1","pages":"75-107"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146016395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using panel data on Chinese listed companies from 2016 to 2023 and a difference-indifferences model, this study showed that low interest rates can exacerbate corporate default risk, particularly among highly leveraged, highly financialized, and zombie firms. In such an environment, firms hold less cash and display higher levels of excessive debt and overinvestment, both of which can increase default risk significantly. The study further examined the role of macro-prudential policies in mitigating risks arising from accommodative monetary policy and confirmed the effectiveness of regulation targeting the lending supply side. These findings provide empirical evidence of the adverse effects of China's low interest rate environment and offer insights into the development of enterprise risks and the implementation of preventive measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"33 6","pages":"246-278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145652581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It found that the reform of the judicial system enhanced corporate employment significantly. The effects were stronger in enterprises with limited external financing and those situated in provinces with high levels of administrative intervention. Mechanism analysis suggested that the reform encouraged firms to pursue litigation more actively, reducing local judicial protectionism. It also promoted employment by easing financing constraints, expanding firm output, and improving productivity. A cost–benefit analysis showed that the circuit courts were highly efficient in promoting employment. Further analysis found that local state-owned enterprises tended to increase labor input by cutting wages and capital investment whereas private firms raised capital investment to facilitate capital deepening.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"33 6","pages":"29-57"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145652590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used China's 2018 value-added tax (VAT) rate reduction reform as a quasi-natural experiment to examine how indirect tax adjustments influence CSR performance. The results indicated that decreased VAT rates enhanced CSR performance by improving corporate cash flow, increasing corporate profits, and alleviating managerial myopia (short-term decision making). The first two channels relaxed internal resource constraints, while the latter enhanced management's willingness to engage in long-term, socially responsible investments. Further analysis showed that these positive effects were mainly evident in enterprises with weaker market power, higher levels of corporate governance, and those subject to stringent environmental regulations. This study enriches the literature on taxation and CSR, demonstrating that fiscal policy tools, such as VAT rate reduction, can act as effective levers to encourage sustainable corporate practices and align business growth with social objectives.</p>","PeriodicalId":51603,"journal":{"name":"China & World Economy","volume":"33 6","pages":"91-131"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145652580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study quantified the global effects of potential tariff increases under the second Trump administration using a quantitative general equilibrium model that captured input–output trade linkages. A simulation of a 30 percent increase in US tariffs on Chinese imports indicated that China's exports to the US would fall by 59.1 percent for intermediate goods and 52.7 percent for final goods, with significant diversion toward Mexico and Canada. At the same time, US imports would shift toward Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries, South Korea, and a few other economies. Certain third countries would experience modest welfare improvements but broader tariff escalation scenarios would result in welfare losses for all economies. These findings underscore the critical importance of maintaining open trade polices and stable international trade relations for global economic welfare.

Using local government work reports from China, it found that a positive tone in the forward-looking content increased the cumulative abnormal returns of local listed firms significantly.

Investors reacted more positively to forward-looking information in reports that provided additional incremental information. As the positivity of local governments' forward-looking tone increased, local listed firms received more government grants, faced lower tax rates, made greater long-term investments, and exhibited better future performance.
