“…This goes some way towards proving the robustness of the baseline regression result. (2012) and Fang et al (2019), we randomly select samples from a sample of 500 392 as spurious CEPI cities and the remaining samples as non-CEPI cities for regression.…”

Campaign-style environmental implementation (CEI) is widely exerted in environmental protection, while its benefits and costs are controversial. We take advantage of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection (CEPI) System— a latest and distinguished form of CEI launched by China in 2016, as a quasi-natural experiment to compare the benefits and costs of CEI based on water pollution effects estimates. Our results based on the annual panel data from 500 cities during 2009-2018 show that CEPI significantly reduced water pollution by an average of 11.2%. Further cost-benefit analysis based on the estimates of water pollution reduction shows that the potential health benefits of mortality and morbidity reduction resulting from CEPI are at least $279.5 billion, which is greater than the $192.2 billion economic losses it causes. The gap is further magnified after considering the potential biases. We also explore why CEPI is cost-effective and find that CEPI reduces water pollution and becomes cost-effective mainly through deterring local officials, punishing polluting enterprises, and increasing public participation in environmental governance.

“…Conventional ERs may lead to an insignificant level of efficiency and hinder the firm"s innovative processes and strategies, which could lead to long-term consequences (Zhuge, Freeman, & Higgins, 2020). Moreover, according to Demirel, Iatridis, and Kesidou (2018), conventional ER and other policies are part of a collective process that consists of rules to protect the environment in the region or country (Fang, Liu, & Gao, 2019). One set of regulations have a direct impact on environmental legal issues, which mainly focus on the management of certain natural resources, such as minerals, fisheries, and forests.…”

The world is fighting the issue of increasing levels of pollution and the detrimental effects of the ecological imprints of the business industry. Pollution and other environmental issues are causing the environment to deteriorate; however, this has also led to an increased interest in the protection of the environment. The Porter hypothesis has stimulated a long debate on whether organizational regulations can lead to changes in a firm"s innovation. Building on these theories, this study evaluates the effect of voluntary environmental regulations (VERs) on the innovation of Chinese firms. For this purpose, the study uses a dichotomous dependent variable. The proxy variables used for evaluating the innovative performance of firms are the average investments made for research and development (R&D) activities, which are evaluated on the basis of investments made and the decision to invest in innovation activities. VERs were evaluated using applications for the ISO 14000 certification. The study uses firm level variables to answer the research questions, as well as control variables such as firm size, profitability, degree of competition, and high technology industry. The results of the estimations reveal that the impact of environmental regulations (ERs) is positive and significant in terms of the innovation output of the firms under consideration. Moreover, the results also highlight the fact that large firms with high levels of profitability and a presence in the technology sector are more adept at introducing innovative activities. The study also provides some policy implications.

“…It uses models to study debt financing constraints and analyzes its impact on corporate investment behavior choices to help companies respond more reasonably to debt financing constraints, optimize investment behavior choices, fully enhance corporate value, and enhance competition between companies. However, the research did not clearly put forward the different factors between the internal and external financing costs of enterprises [5,6].…”

Although the Chinese economy has developed rapidly since the reform and opening up, the income distribution gap is widening year by year. The final social income distribution pattern is highly dependent on the primary distribution pattern. Therefore, the changing trend and influencing factors of labor income share have become the focus of academic research and the focus of government attention. Based on this, this article proposes enterprise financing based on Internet of Things data analysis technology. Studies on the impact of restraints on labor income shares will help further research on the impact of corporate financial restraints on future labor income shares. Based on the financial data reports published in the CCER database and the company’s IPO prospectus and annual report, this paper discusses whether the company’s key business products belong to the Internet of Things’ key technology application categories. Take 226 IoT companies as the research objects of this article, and conduct a secondary screening. The final survey sample is used to investigate the impact of corporate funding constraints on labor income share. Tests have proved that among the 179 resource-based enterprises undergoing transformation, 109 enterprises have undergone intraindustry transformation, accounting for 48.23% of the overall sample and 60.89% of the sample of transformed enterprises. Downstream expansion makes the business industry expand. This shows that funding constraints have a negative impact on labor income share. This is primarily the result of the impact of the long-term debt-to-asset ratio on labor income share.
