近日,我院潘孝珍教授在SSCI一区期刊International Review of Economics & Finance发表学术论文“The impact of environmental tax on R&D investment of heavily polluting companies: Incentive or inhibition?”。

【论文简介】
The theoretical analysis shows that the environmental tax may have both incentive and inhibition effects on the R&D investment of heavily polluting enterprises. Taking Chinese heavily polluting listed companies from 2012 to 2022 as a sample, this study uses the multi-period DID model to show that environmental tax inhibits the R&D investment of heavily polluting enterprises in China. The inhibition effect mainly occurs in the sub-samples of non-state-owned enterprises and a weak legal environment. China needs further to improve the system design of the environmental tax, strengthen the collection and management of environmental tax, and promote the construction of the external market environment and policy environment of enterprises.
