摘要

China's manufacturing sector has been growing with increasingly strict environmental regulations. The sector's sustainable growth depends on how firms might best reduce the financial constraints, such as high costs of external financing involved in cleaner production. To address this challenge, this study explores how the financing behavior of Chinese firms impacts production-generated pollution by illustrating financial constraint mechanisms. We argue that cash holdings significantly finance pollution control investment with a marginal contribution of 0.1%, which can be explained by the low financial cost of cash holdings. Furthermore, our empirical results indicate that a) financially-constrained firms are more likely to use cash to smooth financial constraints to finance pollution control investment; b) internal cash flow only supports pollution investment in financially-constrained firms, i.e., firms with a poor ability to pay debt and higher debt costs prefer to use cash to smooth their pollution control investment activities. Notably, debt significantly curbs the high cost of pollution control investment at a general level of 0.04%. In addition, the effect of cash-backing pollution control investment is particularly compelling in industries that are more pollution- and labor-intensive, with respective marginal contributions of 0.14% and 0.63%. Finally, we find that fixed asset investments and intangible asset investments crowd out pollution control investment at 0.11% and 0.52%, respectively. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
