摘要：
This study investigates the impact of capital market opening on corporate environmental performance (CEP), using Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect as quasi-natural experiments. We find that capital market opening can improve CEP, and our conclusion is robust after a placebo test and a series of robustness tests are conducted. Further investigations show that the opening policy loosens corporate financing constraints and promotes corporate green innovations. We also explore the motivation of this relationship: the improvement of CEP after the opening of the capital market is accompanied by increases in corporate value.
