Wang et al. as discussed by the authors measured the carbon emission of 1,089 Chinese companies through the EIO-LCA-based approach and examined the impacts of international crude oil price fluctuations and the corporate development level on carbon emissions of individual companies.Abstract:
Low-carbon transformation has become a key priority in China, as demonstrated in the implementation of the Carbon Peak, Carbon Neutralization policy, leading to increasing concern of environmental performance at the corporate level. This paper measures the carbon emission of 1,089 Chinese companies through the EIO-LCA-based approach. Then we examine the impacts of international crude oil price fluctuations and the corporate development level on carbon emissions of individual companies. Our results indicate that an increase in international crude oil price uncertainty could inhibit the company’s carbon emission. In parallel, we find that there might exist an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) inverted U-shaped correlation between the company’s development level and its environmental performance. However, some exceptions to corporate carbon performance may emerge, resulting from specific corporate characteristics such as the state-owned nature and whether the firm is listed on the stock exchange. Our results could help companies optimize their internal carbon emission structure during the low-carbon transition process and contribute to effective policy regulations towards the target of carbon reduction.read more

Unveiling the asymmetric impact of exports, oil prices, technological innovations, and income inequality on carbon emissions in India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the temporal impact of exports and oil prices on carbon emissions in India from 1980 to 2018 and found that the upward tick in exports and technological innovation led to an increase in carbon emissions.

Achieving carbon neutrality through green technological progress: evidence from China
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors define carbon neutrality performance as the difference between the carbon sinks and carbon sources and quantify its relationship with green technological innovation, approximated using the notion of environmental productivity.

Oil price uncertainty, corporate governance and firm performance
Xinyu Song,Baochen Yang +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated whether oil price uncertainty affects Chinese firms' operating performances and the moderating role of corporate governance practices in this relationship, using a sample of 2,696 Chinese listed firms from 2007 to 2019.

Does green finance regulation improve renewable energy utilization? Evidence from energy consumption efficiency
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the impact of green finance regulation on renewable energy utilization at the firm level and found that the difference-in-difference estimation results show that, firms' renewable energy utility in the pilot regions is enhanced by the regulation and this result is robust after several tests.

Economic Growth and the Environment
Gene M. Grossman,Alan B. Krueger +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between per capita income and various environmental indicators and found no evidence that environmental quality deteriorates steadily with economic growth, rather, for most indicators, economic growth brings an initial phase of deterioration followed by a subsequent phase of improvement.

Oil price shocks and stock market activity
TL;DR: This article found that after 1986, oil price movements explained a larger fraction of the forecast error variance in real stock returns than do interest rates, and that oil price volatility shocks have asymmetric effects on the economy.

What is an Oil Shock
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a flexible approach to characterize the nonlinear relation between oil price changes and GDP growth and reported clear evidence of nonlinearity, consistent with earlier claims in the literature that oil price increases are much more important than oil price decreases.

Economic growth and CO2 emissions in Malaysia: A cointegration analysis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to establish a long-run as well as causal relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Malaysia using data for the years from 1980 to 2009, the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis was tested utilizing the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology.
