Service and Responsibility： Reinforcing the Environmental E-government of China

Environmental E-government plays an important role in the progress of uniting the harmonious development between human and nature, and building the environment-friendly-society. This paper discusses the relationship between environmental E-government and government function of the environmental management. To develop environmental E-government can better the executive ability of the government to manage the environment and serve the public. It can realize the over-all covering of environmental information beyond time and space. Also, it can enhance the mutual action between the society and the government, and improve the effectiveness of the government to manage the environment as well.

The Transformation of Environmental Governance from the Point of the Interaction between Government and National People's Congress

Taking cadmium pollution in X River as an example, the interaction between National People＇s Congress and local government was de- scribed. How the local government transforms its role in environment protection with the help of several deputies to National People＇s Congress was expounded from the angle of social construction, which also enlightened the way to build an environment protection road with Chinese characteristics.

On the Government's Responsibility in China's Rural Land Transfer

There is an urgent need for China's rural land transfer in order to develop modern agriculture,ensure food security,transfer rural population,and accelerate industrialization and urbanization.At present,there is still disordered transfer of rural land in China,making the interests of the transferors and transferees difficult to be effectively guaranteed;there is inefficient transfer,leading to decline in actual agricultural production level after transfer;there is jobless transfer,leading to difficult placement for rural surplus labor after transfer,seriously restricting rural land transfer.Therefore,the Chinese government's legal responsibility,economic responsibility and social responsibility in rural land transfer should be further strengthened.

上市公司ESG信息披露:模式比较、风险审视与纾解路向

新《公司法》第二十条对企业社会责任作出了要求,鼓励公司及时公布社会责任报告。良好的ESG表现有改善企业下行风险、提高内部治理水平和促进企业高质量发展的作用。然而我国上市公司ESG信息披露存在法律规范体系化不足、标准化缺失、内部合规管理体系和外部监督管理体系不完善等问题。针对上述问题,应当完善上市公司ESG信息披露的法治规范体系、统一上市ESG信息披露的内容与标准、完善ESG信息披露的内部和外部合规监督管理体系,助推上市公司ESG信息披露制度的系统化,减少“漂绿”“虚假ESG信息披露”等违法行为的发生,从而实现上市公司与资本市场的双向可持续发展。

IPO环保问询提升了企业ESG责任吗?

促进实体经济承担ESG责任、加强连接外部资本与绿色产业连接、实现企业高质量发展的话题受到理论与实务界越来越的关注。行政型环境规制迫使企业将环保治理作为政策遵从成本,而市场化规制则能引导企业在产品市场兑现“绿色”价值,履行ESG责任,提升企业竞争力,缓解资源约束问题。本文基于IPO环保核查市场化改革背景,从发行市场审核问询视角出发,以2015年到2022年A股发行阶段的问询函为样本,实证研究了IPO环保问询对企业ESG责任的影响效应及作用机理。研究表明:(1)IPO环保问询对企业承担ESG责任具有显著的激励效应,这一结论在经过稳健性与内生性检验后依旧成立。(2)机制研究表明,IPO环保问询为公众监督上市公司环保治理提供了更透明的资讯,优化了地方政府选择补贴对象的信息环境,从而提高了环保问询企业获得补贴的可能,并通过补贴释放的“减排信号”进一步强化公众监督,倒逼公司兑现上市承诺,提升ESG表现。(3)异质性分析表明,IPO问询对企业环保行动的指引,因不同地区的环境规制强度、地区公众环境关注度以及企业自身的绿色技术条件而异。本文的研究在理论上为探索如何激励企业承担ESG责任提供了新的视角,在实践上为完善发行市场环保问询体系提供了经验证据。

税收负担、地方政府竞争与污染治理——基于面板PSR-熵值-Tobit模型的实证

基于污染治理评估指标体系和中国30个省区市的面板数据,对污染治理水平综合指数进行极值熵值处理,运用面板Tobit模型和广义最小二乘法(GLS),探究税收负担和地方政府竞争对污染治理的影响效应。研究结果显示:整体上,中国污染治理水平呈现出“阶梯状”逐年上升的演变趋势;分地区看,四大地区污染治理水平非均衡性特征明显;污染治理压力、状态、响应三大子系统分别呈现“快速攀升”“平稳发展”和“波浪形升降”的演变特征。不同统计口径的税收负担对污染治理水平的影响效应不同,其中,宏观税负、狭义环境保护税税负抑制了污染治理水平的提升,广义环境保护税税负促进了污染治理水平的提升;引入地方政府竞争后发现,地方政府竞争不利于污染治理水平提升,且税收负担对污染治理的影响受到地方政府竞争的制约。文章从健全绿色税收体系、落实排污许可制、优化地方政府竞争等角度提出提升污染治理水平的政策建议。

Corporate Governance, Sustainable Development and Value Creation Some Evidences From Italian Listed Companies

Modern corporate situations, characterized by the globalisation of the markets and of the information, highlight the need to link the potential of a not transient growth to the adequate reconciliation of all the expectations converging around the entrepreneurial formula and not only of those attributable to shareholders. In such a defined context, corporate governance tends to evolve from a situation of primary care for the expectations of shareholders （shareholder＇s view） and for the correlated financial responsibility, to a wide consideration of all the stakeholders （stakeholder＇s view） and related responsibilities （financial, environmental, social, administrative）. The correct carrying out of governance processes requires, therefore, a clear focus on sustainable development and on the related assumption of a concept of global responsibility. The decisions made by the governing bodies must be driven by the purpose to create value in the long term according to conditions of fairness and sustainable development. To sum up, this research aims to deepen the existing connections between corporate governance, sustainable development and value creation on the basis of the empirical analysis of a limited number of listed Italian companies afferent to the public utilities sector. The paper, based on a deductive approach, is composed of two distinct but strictly connected parts： the first theoretical and the second empirical. The empirical research consists of a content analysis of the most recent documents （sustainability reports and annual reports） worked out by the selected companies. The results obtained about the degree respect of sustainable development conditions by each company are linked to the related value dimension （social, economic, competitive and environmental performance） aimed at verifying if the assumption of a corporate governance approach inspired by sustainability is susceptible of favouring the company development in a medium long term. From the delivered research it emerges how public utilities that promote behaviours in line with the sustainability conditions are marked out by stable growth paths. Conversely, the companies that assume a vision mainly addressed to the economic dimension, neglecting the other areas are generally compromised in the performance realized.

Impact of sustainability on financial distress in the air transport industry:the moderating effect of Asia–Pacific

The tremendous impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the global aviation industry has led to many cases of airline financial distress and bankruptcy.The Asia–Pacific region(APAC)contains more than half of the world’s population,and its airlines had the highest profit margin of any region.In this study,we investigate whether corporate sustainability practice can reduce the financial distress risk of air carriers,and,if so,what would the effect be in APAC?We first examine the relationship between environmental,social,and governance disclosure and the likelihood of financial distress of airlines as measured by the Altman Z″-score.Second,we analyze the moderating role of being an APAC airline in this relationship.The findings support the claim that implementing environmental actions may increase financial distress risk,and by improving social and governance activities,airlines can mitigate the risk of financial distress.The negative influence of the environmental pillar and the positive influence of the social pillar can be smaller for APAC airlines.Our study provides empirical evidence of the influence of environmental,social,and governance(ESG)on the likelihood of financial distress in the airline industry.Moreover,we analyze the moderating role of being an APAC airline in the relationship between sustainability and financial distress.This study has significant implications for executives,managers,and policymakers in the aviation industry on ESG strategy decisions and the general issue of sustainability.

前瞻型环境责任对低碳技术创新的影响研究——来自中国工业企业的证据

“双碳”目标下,低碳技术创新是实现环境保护与经济增长双赢的关键。基于2014—2020年沪深A股上市工业公司的面板数据,采用固定效应模型检验前瞻型环境责任对低碳技术创新的影响,从外部利益相关者视角分析其具体作用机制。结果显示:企业履行前瞻型环境责任有助于获取政府补贴、缓解融资约束,从而促进低碳技术创新。进一步研究表明,媒体环境关注能够增加前瞻型环境责任对政府补贴的促进作用,但是会削弱对融资约束的缓解作用。

推进环境、社会和治理与生态环境科学的结合

环境、社会和治理(Environmental,Social and Governance,ESG)是指从环境、社会和公司治理三个维度来评估企业经营的可持续性与对社会价值观念的影响。随着可持续发展与生态文明的理念逐渐成为共识,ESG也成为实践和研究的热点。ESG关注环境和可持续发展,但当前ESG研究与生态环境科学的结合明显不足。简要回顾了中国的ESG实践,并将其自2005年起分为起步阶段(2005—2009年)、发展阶段(2010—2017年)和全面深化阶段(2018年至今)。通过对主流的ESG评价指标体系与联合国可持续发展目标的关系进行分析,发现二者高度相符,表明ESG与生态环境科学联系密切。再根据国内外ESG研究文献分析,发现现有研究多围绕上市公司和金融机构展开,研究者主要来自金融、经济、社会、管理乃至商务等领域,当前ESG研究与生态环境科学存在脱节,总体上与生态环境科学的结合还有待发展和深入。在此基础上,文章指出应尽快推进ESG研究与生态环境科学的结合,并对未来如何开展相关实践与研究进行了展望,以期为生态环境领域学者开展ESG研究提供参考。

政府环境责任能否促进绿色经济发展?——兼论制度、技术与理念的影响

地方各级政府履行环境责任对推动生态环境保护和经济绿色转型具有重要意义。本文基于2008—2022年我国285个城市面板数据,从制度、技术与理念三个方面探究政府环境责任对绿色经济发展的影响及其影响差异的来源。研究发现,政府环境责任不仅能显著促进本地的绿色经济发展,还对邻地城市具有正向空间溢出效应,但这种影响在不同的政府环境责任维度之间存在异质性。该结论在经过内生性问题处理以及更换空间权重矩阵等多种检验后,仍具有较好的稳健性。进一步分析发现,环境司法、数字化技术和绿色消费理念有利于增强政府环境责任对绿色经济发展的正向影响。本文研究为实现环境保护与经济效益“双丰收”局面提供有益的理论依据与实践参考。
