摘要
在推动制造业绿色转型和高水平对外开放的背景下,环境规制如何影响出口企业的行为和绩效是重要的研究问题.以政府环境信息公开构造准自然实验,实证考察其对中国出口企业内产品调整和贸易绩效的影响.研究发现,环境信息公开促使企业提高核心产品出口额并降低边缘产品出口额,企业内产品出口离散度增大.造成该现象的原因是,环境信息公开带来的成本冲击迫使企业将资源由边缘产品向核心产品集中,通过核心产品质量升级来应对成本上升的不利影响.该调整行为使企业核心产品的质量优势更为突出,因此其出口份额进一步扩大.研究还发现,核心产品质量升级增强了企业核心产品在行业内的竞争优势,提高了其产品加成率和贸易收益.同时,这一生产调整也造成了企业内产品多样化及行业内市场竞争程度的下降,对资源配置效率具有潜在不利影响.研究从企业内产品调整的视角考察企业应对环境规制的策略性行为及其经济后果,对更好利用环境政策驱动制造业绿色转型和出口高质量发展具有政策启示.
Abstract
In promoting the green transformation of the manufacturing industry and high-level opening-up,it is important to consider how environmental regulation affects the behavior and performance of export firms.In this study,a quasi-natural experiment is constructed based on the government's environmental information disclosure(EID)to empirically investigate its impact on the product adjustment and trade performance of Chinese export firms.The study finds that EID encourages firms to increase exports of core products and reduce those of peripheral products,resulting in increased dispersion of intra-firm product exports.This is attributable to the cost shock introduced by EID,which compels firms to shift the concentration of resources from peripheral to core products,thereby addressing the adverse effects of rising costs through the quality upgrading of core products.This strategic adjustment accentuates the quality advantage of the firm's core products,thus further expanding its export share.Furthermore,the quality upgrading of core products enhances their competitive edge in the industry,improving their markup and trade profits.However,it also leads to a drop in intra-firm product diversification and the intensity of market competition in the industry,with potentially adverse effects on resource allocation efficiency.From the perspective of intra-firm product adjustment,the study examines the strategic behavior of firms in response to environmental regulations and the economic consequences thereof.It provides policy insights for better leveraging environmental policies to drive the green transformation of the manufacturing sector and the high-quality development of exports.
