【报告摘要】
This paper examines whether and how political corruption affects corporate carbon emissions. We find that firms in highly corrupt states emit significantly more carbon. The findings are robust to various empirical strategies that address endogeneity concerns, including instrumental variable analysis, propensity score matching, and a difference-in-differences test. The effect is more pronounced among firms operating in highly competitive industries and those with fewer financial constraints. Furthermore, the impact of corruption intensifies following the Paris Agreement, when environmental regulations tightened. Overall, these results suggest that political corruption contributes to higher corporate carbon emissions by shielding firms from regulatory scrutiny and enforcement.
