摘要
This paper empirically examines the impact of ESG "greenwashing" on corporate bond costs in China's capital market, focusing on non-financial listed companies. The study results indicate that corporate ESG "greenwashing" can lead to negative economic consequences, resulting in an increase in corporate debt financing costs. Further analysis shows that this effect is mainly concentrated in non-state-owned enterprises and small-scale enterprises.
