环保费改税对企业ESG投资的影响研究The Impact of Environmental Protection Fee-to-Tax Reform on Corporate ESG Investment
吴汉利,熊雨欣
摘要(Abstract):
面对愈加突出的环境问题,我国政府立法开征环境保护税,依据“税负平移”原则实现污染征收从“缴费”平稳过渡为“纳税”。本文基于2011—2022年沪深A股上市公司的微观样本,考察这一政策变化对企业ESG投资的影响及其作用机制。研究表明,环保费改税落地实施有助于激励企业进行ESG投资,且提升公众环境关注度与处罚力度是环保费改税作用于企业ESG投资的两个重要途径,经过稳健性检验后这一结论仍成立。此外,环保费改税对非国有企业、次高污染行业企业和处于环境规制更强地区的企业影响更为显著,并且环保费改税促进企业ESG投资还能助力微观企业全要素生产率与宏观产业结构转型升级。上述研究结论以期为经济高质量增长提供理论参考,为推进环境税制的完善提供决策依据。
