摘要

本文考察了服务业自由化对中国下游制造业企业碳排放强度的影响。我们通过对外直接投资（FDI）政策的变化来量化中国的服务业自由化，并构建了制造业企业对服务业自由化的敞口的综合指数，作为服务业自由化与其各自投入份额的加权平均值。研究发现，服务业自由化通过产业间经济联系显著降低了制造业企业的二氧化碳排放强度。我们的结果与污染排放强度的其他两个措施，服务业自由化的两个替代措施和修正后的内生性是稳健的。我们还发现，生产率越高，减排效果越好。此外，企业的反应是异质性的：服务业自由化对国有企业二氧化碳排放强度降低的影响比非国有企业大81 %；大公司比中小公司大105% 。

Service sector liberalization and firms’ carbon emission intensity reduction: Evidence from China

This paper examines the impact of service sector liberalization on downstream manufacturing firms’ carbon emission intensity in China. We quantify China’s service sector liberalization through its policy changes towards foreign direct investment (FDI) and build a composite index of manufacturing firms’ exposure to service sector liberalization as a weighted average of service sectors’ liberalization with their respective input shares. We find that service sector liberalization significantly reduces manufacturing firms’ CO₂ emission intensity through inter-industry economic linkages. Our results are robust with two other measures of pollution emission intensities, two alternative measures of service sector liberalization and after correcting endogeneity. We also find that greater productivity enhances the reduction effect. Further, firms’ response is heterogeneous: the impact of service sector liberalization on firms’ CO₂ emission intensity reduction is 81 % larger for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) than for non-SOEs; and 105 % larger for large firms than for small- and medium-sized firms.
