Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study investigates the relationship between political connections and corporate environmental performance, and examines the role of government green subsidies on this relationship within the current Chinese context. Using data from publicly traded private manufacturing firms, empirical results show that politically connected firms are significantly more likely to obtain green subsidies than non-connected firms. Assisted by green subsidies, firms with political connections show better environmental performance than those without. Our findings reveal the mechanism by which corporate political connections influence environmental performance.
