Party Branch Embeddedness and Urban–Rural Environmental Inequality: Self-Regulation or Pollution Shelter?

With the deepening of environmental governance, the overall environmental quality of the region has been improved. However, internal environmental inequality, especially urban–rural environmental inequality, has continued to come to the fore. Nevertheless, there are still few studies on how to mitigate the increasing urban–rural environmental inequality. On the basis of examining the urban–rural environmental inequality in China’s environmental emission reduction investment dimension, this research verified the impact and mechanism of informal regulatory forces (grassroots party organizations) in alleviating urban–rural environmental inequality. In particular, based on an empirical analysis of data from the Chinese Private Enterprise Survey (CPES) 2006–2014, this study found that (1) investment in environmental management of polluting enterprises in rural areas is significantly lower than in urban areas, and the trend of urban–rural environmental inequality is intensifying; (2) urban–rural environmental inequality is more pronounced at the enterprise level in areas with larger enterprises and greater environmental enforcement and that urban-centered environmental regulatory policies continue to exacerbate urban–rural environmental inequality; and (3) the embeddedness of regional party organizations can narrow the gap between urban and rural environmental protection investment by private enterprises and alleviate urban–rural environmental inequality. The specific pathway is to improve rural enterprises’ social responsibility awareness and policy implementation. Based on the above findings, this paper argues that a gradual break with “urban-centered environmentalism” is the fundamental solution to urban–rural environmental inequality. However, in the current context of limited resources for formal environmental regulation, the power of informal environmental regulation can still mitigate these effects.

The influence of tourist values on environmental responsibility behavior—a multi-case study from Guilin

Cultivating tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior is an effective way to relieve the pressure of ecological environment in tourist destinations. Based on the value-attitude-behavior theory, this paper constructs a relationship model of values, ecotourism attitude, social responsibility awareness and environmental responsibility behavior, and explores the mechanism of tourists’ values influence on environmental responsibility behavior.

The results of the three studies show that values have a significant positive impact on tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior, while ecotourism attitude cannot directly affect tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior, but values can indirectly affect tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior through the chain intermediary of ecotourism attitude and social responsibility awareness. The findings of the study can effectively guide tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior, which has far-reaching significance for the sustainable development of tourist destinations.

Agresivitas Pajak, Environmental Performance, Leverage dan Likuiditas, terhadap Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure dengan Profitabilitas sebagai Pemoderasi

Data were analyzed using panel data regression using E-Views 12.0. The results show that tax aggressiveness has a significant negative effect on CSR disclosure, while leverage has a positive effect on CSR disclosure. Environmental protection and salary have no effect on CSR disclosure. Profitability cannot reduce tax aggressiveness, level of environmental protection, and disclosure of corporate social responsibility, but can strengthen or reduce the effect of liquidity on social responsibility.

Corporate social responsibility and labor tax avoidance: Evidence from Spain

AbstractThis study expands on the scope of firms' social responsibility and analyzes the relationship between Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and a commonly neglected aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is tax payment – specifically, the payment of labor taxes. To test the research hypothesis, this study utilizes ESG data from Refinitiv Eikon and consolidated accounting data collected from Sistemas de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI) and applies panel data estimation. The regression results indicate that CSR has a negative and significant relationship with Labor Tax Avoidance (LTAV). This negative relationship remains robust and significant across different estimation methods and measures of CSR and LTAV. Our research suggests that managerial and practical concerns regarding social responsibility awareness are related to firms' decisions, impacting both society and employees, particularly concerning the avoidance of labor taxes.
