Environmental investment of companies can not only bring profits to firms but also contribute to environmental protection. However, little is known about how chairperson characteristics affect companies’ decisions on environmental investment. This paper fills the gap in the literature by studying the impact of chairperson characteristics on firms’ environmental investment. For empirical evidence, we conduct a regression on environmental protection disclosure data of Chinese listed companies sourced from the CSMAR database. We find that China’s overall environmental protection disclosure level is relatively low. The age of the chairperson has an inverted U-shaped relationship with environmental investment, and a female chairperson has a significant positive effect on environmental investment. Contrarily, the education level and political connections of the chairperson have no significant impact on firms’ environmental investment. Understanding the effect of these factors will help companies plan their environmental protection activities more efficiently.

“…Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the study most relevant to our study is an economic study about Chinese given names, where CEOs with a given name that has a moral meaning were found to be more corporative in investment decisions on environmental protection (Jia et al 2021). We believe that the impact of given names in economics is an important eld that remains undeveloped, as names play an essential role in our personal and social life.…”

Names play important roles in Chinese culture; people often obtain their first impression of others by interpreting their names. As “feminine qualities” are favored in the naming of girls, many females receive names with implications of beauty in China. How do these names impact the life of Chinese females? In this paper, which uses survey data from 314 Chinese female as a sample, we tested the impact of beauty in a name on people’s consumption decisions in the body image market. According to the results of a ordinary linear regression, we found that a direct implication of beauty in names results in an increase of 9.51k CNY in appearance improvement consumption on average, which is approximately 43% of the average spending in appearance improvement in our sample.. Additionally, with mediation analysis, we found that this impact is partly caused by the Chinese culture in which people obtain impressions of others through their given names.
