Abstract

In this paper, we empirically investigate how a governmental environmental information disclosure (EID) program in China affects the extensive and intensive margins of export for a panel of Chinese industrial firms. The results show that stricter enforcement of environmental disclosure discourages firms’ participation in export. However, the export volume of remaining exporting firms increases following more environmental disclosure. The results are robust to a battery of robustness checks as well as an IV estimation. Mechanism analysis reveals that firms’ propensity of innovation increases after stricter enforcement of disclosure, lending support for the Porter hypothesis.
