摘要

inter-basin water transfer (IBWT) policies alter the spatial distribution of water endowments and trigger changes in environmental regulation policies, which may unintentionally impact the research and development (RD) activities in IBWT water-receiving areas. However, the existing studies failed to examine the relationship between IBWT policies and corporate RD activities, and lacked the exploration of the micro-mechanism of IBWT's unintended impact on corporate RD activities. Through the water delivery of China's South-North Water Transfer Project as a quasi-natural experiment, this study adopts a difference-in-differences approach to scrutinise the unintended impact of IBWT policies on corporate RD activities. The findings show that IBWT policies can make the water a 'resource blessing' by directly improving the water endowment in water-receiving areas, thereby promoting corporate RD activities. In addition, IBWT policies can also indirectly encourage local governments in water-receiving areas to strengthen the intensity of environmental regulations, ultimately promoting companies to improve RD activities. Finally, the impacts of IBWT policies on corporate RD activities in water-receiving areas are heterogeneous. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the complicated relationship between IBWT policies and corporate RD activities, and provides insights into how IBWT policies affect corporate RD activities.
