摘要

我们利用韩国排放交易体系(ETS)第一阶段作为外生冲击,研究了环境法规对韩国上市公司盈利能力和价值的影响。以往的研究主要集中于发达国家的环境法规,但往往没有得出结论,而像韩国这样的新兴市场则鲜有研究。利用 2011 年至 2017 年韩国上市企业的数据,我们探讨了 2015 年韩国排放交易体系对受处理企业的环境和财务绩效的影响。我们发现,接受处理的企业并未减少碳排放,但其环境评级却有所提高。此外,排放交易计划略微提高了企业的盈利能力,但显著降低了企业价值。接受处理的企业还表现出较高的系统性风险,表明投资者考虑到了未来的碳风险。总之,韩国排放交易计划并未有效激励企业减少排放,反而降低了企业的长期价值。

The effects of carbon emissions trading on profitability and value: Evidence from Korean listed firms

The effects of carbon emissions trading on profitability and value: Evidence from Korean listed firms

We examine the effects of environmental regulations on the profitability and value of Korean listed firms, exploiting the first phase of the Korean Emissions Trading System (ETS) as an exogenous shock. While previous studies have mainly focused on environmental regulations in developed countries, often yielding inconclusive results, emerging markets like South Korea remain less explored. Using data on Korean listed firms from 2011 to 2017, we explore the effects of the 2015 Korean ETS on environmental and financial performance in treated firms. We find that treated firms did not reduce their carbon emissions, but their environmental ratings improved. Moreover, the ETS slightly increased profitability but significantly decreased firm value. Treated firms also exhibited a higher systematic risk, indicating that investors account for future carbon risks. In summary, the Korean ETS has not effectively incentivized firms to reduce emissions and has diminished their long-term value.
