    摘要:We use the staggered judicial system reform starting in 2014 as an exogenous shock for the degree of local protectionism and investigate the impact on firms’ ESG disclosure levels. We find that local firms significantly increased their ESG disclosure after the reform. The mechanism is that the legal risk increases after the judicial system reform and firms use ESG disclosure as an insurance against litigation risks. The results are more pronounced in high-legal risk industries, firms with financial constraints, and firms with better CEO reputations. The results are not found among central firms or provincial firms that are less impacted by the reform. Furthermore, we find no evidence that firms increased their actual ESG performance after the reform based on the greenhouse gas emissions data. This study contributes to the literature on local protectionism, judicial system reform, and the determinants of ESG disclosure.


    我们以2014年开始的分阶段司法制度改革作为地方保护主义程度的外生冲击,考察其对企业环境,社会和治理披露水平的影响。 我们发现,改革后本土企业显著增加了环境,社会和治理披露。 其机制是司法体制改革后法律风险增加,企业利用环境,社会和治理披露作为诉讼风险的保险。 在高法律风险行业、财务紧张的公司以及首席执行官声誉较好的公司中,该结果更为明显。 在受改革影响较小的央企或省属企业中并未发现这一结果。 此外,我们没有发现任何证据表明企业改革后降低了温室气体排放。 本研究为有关地方保护主义、司法体系改革以及环境,社会和治理披露的决定因素的文献做出了贡献。
