Does air pollution impair investment efficiency?

He, G. and Lin, T. (2022) 'Does air pollution impair investment efficiency?', Economics letters., 215 . p. 110490.

Abstract

Using a sample of 2,174 Chinese listed firms for the period 2014-2019, we examine whether air pollution impairs investment efficiency of firms. We find robust evidence that air pollution is negatively associated with firms’ investment efficiency, and that this association is more pronounced for small firms, non-state-owned firms, financially constrained firms, and firms confronted with high business risk or intense industrial product market competition.
