摘要

基于 2008 年至 2019 年中国重污染企业的样本，我们研究了采用排污权抵押贷款（ERM）政策对企业层面绿色投资的影响。我们发现，排污权抵押贷款政策能显著提高企业的绿色投资。当金融约束较高、地方市场化水平较高以及地方政府对环境的关注度较高时，这种影响会更加明显。我们的研究为进一步发展基于排污权和其他环境权的金融工具提供了经验证据和政策实施，表明企业环境风险管理是促进环境可持续发展的合理政策。

What does it mean to the environment when a firm mortgages its emission rights? Evidence from corporate green investment

Based on a sample of Chinese heavily polluting firms from 2008 to 2019, we examine the impact of the adoption of the emissions rights mortgage (ERM) policy on firm-level green investment. We find that an ERM policy significantly enhances firms’ green investment. This effect is more salient when financial constraints are higher, local marketization levels are higher, and local governments’ environmental concerns are higher. Our study provides empirical evidence and policy implementations for the further development of financial instruments based on emissions rights and other environmental rights, which show that ERM is a sound policy to promote a sustainable environment.

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.
