How does the new energy demonstration city pilot affect corporate green M&A: Evidence of A-share listed companies in China
Utilizing data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2004 to 2023, this study examines the impact of the policy of new energy demonstration cities on corporate mergers and acquisitions by difference-in-differences model. The empirical results show that the policy significantly promotes green M&A. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that policy effects vary due to the environmental performance, the belonging regions, and the nature of the enterprises. Then, mechanism analysis proves that this policy promotes green M&A by facilitating green innovation, easing financing and reducing information asymmetry. Finally, it is revealed the negative moderating effect of corporate digital transformation on the impact of pilot policy on corporate green M&A. This study provides new insights into the impact path of new energy demonstration city policies on corporate green M&A.
