The Environmental Protection Law reflects the central government’s will, but its implementation is largely dependent on local governments, which often have to make a trade-off between economic development and environmental protection. Environmental pollution is mainly produced by secondary industries.
Evidence from the “law and finance” literature (e.g., Faccio, 2006; La Porta et al., 2000) has documented that corporate rent-seeking behavior is more prevalent in countries with weak legal system, while poor law enforcement is a typical case in China's environmental governance. 7 Along the logic, when law enforcement is strong, local ...
Under environmental law enforcement supervision, local officials are compelled to direct their attention and resources toward environmental rectification efforts (Richter et al., 2023). Therefore, after implementing EPI, pollution problems can be alleviated in the short term.
The newly revised Environmental Protection Law (EPL), which has been in effect since 2015, represents an unprecedented effort in China to promote environmental protection and governance from multiple dimensions. This law clarifies the legal status of ecological supervision departments for the first time in China.
Many studies demonstrate that environmental law enforcement for polluting firms effectively prevents other firms from emitting pollutants (Bu & Shi, 2021; Chalfin & McCrary, 2017). In the context of recycling, Dur and Vollaard (2019) reveal that the disclosure of punishment cases for violating recycling laws can diminish the incidence of ...
In order to better combat environmental pollution, China promulgated the New China Environmental Protection Law (CNEPL) in 2015. Previous studies have focused more on the impact of CNEPL on the enterprise performance and green innovation, ignoring the relationship between CNEPL and industrial low-carbon development.
Exploiting the environmental protection interview (EPI) initiated in 2014 and 2015 as a quasi-natural experiment and utilizing firm-level data from 2011 to 2018, this study investigates whether the enhanced supervision of local environmental law enforcement by the central government causes changes in corporate carbon reduction performance (CCRP ...
Previous research has predominantly concentrated on assessing the role of environmental courts in mitigating the effects of environmental pollution. Leveraging the establishment of environmental courts in China as a quasi-natural experiment, this study investigates whether environmental law enforcement can promote corporate innovation.
By way of introduction to the term, environmental law includes regulation of pollutants and natural resource conservation and allocation. The regulations refer to energy development and use, agriculture, real estate, and land use and have been expanded to include international environmental governance, international trade, environmental justice ...
