政府环境关注与企业环境治理——基于政府工作报告文本分析的视角

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文以2001-2018年沪深A股上市公司为研究对象，以政府工作报告量化地方政府环境关注度，考察其对辖区内企业环境治理行为的影响。研究发现，当地方政府对环境的关注程度越高时，企业环境治理越能够言行一致，即企业的环保投资规模越大、环境信息披露程度越高;上述结果在经过一系列稳健性检验后依然成立。机制检验发现，当政府对环境关注程度越高时，企业获得政府环境补助的概率越大、缴纳排污费的可能性越高、绿色创新产出越多。此外，异质性分析发现，当企业污染越严重、企业所在省份环境执法力度较强、企业受到媒体关注较多时，地方政府环境关注越能够有效促进企业环境治理，呈现言行一致。

Abstract: This paper takes the A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2001 to 2018 as the research object and takes government work report as the quantitative index of local government's concern for environment to investigate its impact on the environ-mental governance behavior of local enterprises. It is found that when the local government pays more attention to the environment, local enterprises are more likely to disclose their efforts in environmental governance. That is, the larger environmental investment made by an enterprise, the more environmental information it would disclose. This result remains significant after a series of robustness tests. The mechanism test shows that when the government pays more attention to the environment, the enterprises are more likely to receive envi-ronmental subsidies from the government, pay pollution fees, and produce more green innovations. In addition, heterogeneity analysis finds that the more pollutions produced by an enterprise that receives much attention from media and operates in a province where envi-ronment is strictly regulated, the more effectively the local government's concern for environment can promote the enterprise's environ-mental governance and motivate the enterprise to disclose its efforts in environmental governance.
