Based on the assumption that in a standard eco-dumping model governments are uncertain about future product demand and allowing governments to obtain information from firms, we examine governments' and firms' incentives to share information. We show that when governments regulate polluting firms through emission standards, then governments and firms will reach an agreement concerning information sharing. The opposite holds when governments regulate pollution through emission taxes.

Impact of policy adjustments on low carbon transition strategies in construction using evolutionary game theory.

The construction industry is generally characterized by high emissions, making its transition to low-carbon practices essential for achieving a low-carbon economy. However, due to information asymmetry, there remains a gap in research regarding the strategic interactions and reward/punishment mechanisms between governments and firms throughout this transition. This paper addresses this gap by investigating probabilistic and static reward and punishment evolutionary games.

Based on a quasi-natural experiment with the Zero Waste Cities (ZWC) initiative launched in 2019, this study takes 14,191 Chinese A-share listed companies from 2014 to 2022 as the research object to assess the impact of the policy on pollution and carbon emission reduction through a difference-in-difference method. It highlights the superior effectiveness of ZWC in enhancing collaborative efforts towards emissions reduction, with waste reduction impacts exceeding those on carbon emissions. The success is attributed to three main channels: rigorous environmental governance, green innovation promotion by firms, and shifts in public behavior.

As the pace of enterprise digital transformation accelerates, intellectual capital (IC) has become a core driving force of gaining market competitive advantages and enhancing value creation capabilities. The paper aims to investigate the impact of IC and its components on financial performance of Chinese ecological protection and environmental governance companies during 2018-2021. In addition, the moderating effect of digital transformation between them is examined.

Although a considerable body of research has documented the effects of environmental regulation, spatially differentiated sustainability pressures in China call for diversified environmental governance policies. Based on the Sustainable Development Policy for Resource-based Cities (SDPRC) implemented in 2007, we adopt a staggered difference-in-differences approach using firm-level data to investigate the microeffects and mechanisms of place-based supportive policy on corporate emissions. We find strong and robust evidence that the SDPRC has significantly reduced corporate emissions.

Chinese construction enterprises are at a pivotal point in their transition to sustainable development, with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) emerging as a key driver. However, limited understanding of ESG mechanisms hampers effective management strategies. To address this challenge, this study constructs an ESG introduction mechanism framework based on Bayesian networks and machine learning algorithms.
