気候リスクが企業の労働アウトソーシング行動に与える影響を、中国上場企業4181社のデータを用いて実証分析。気候リスクショックはアウトソーシング支出を有意に増加させ、経済的不確実性と投資支出の増加がメカニズムとして働く。コスト転嫁能力が低い企業や資金制約の高い企業で効果が顕著。
English
Using a dataset of 4,181 Chinese listed firms (2012-2022), this study finds that climate risk shocks significantly increase corporate labor outsourcing expenditures. The effect is stronger for firms with limited cost-passing capacity and high financing constraints. Mechanism analysis shows increased economic uncertainty and investment expenditure drive this result.

日本のGX文脈において
日本企業においても気候リスクが労働力配分に影響を与える可能性を示唆。ただし中国市場特有の制度要因に注意。日本のGX政策（グリーン成長戦略）における雇用調整やスキル転換の議論に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global literature on climate risk and corporate adaptation, particularly labor market responses. While based on Chinese data, the findings on outsourcing as a risk management strategy are relevant for firms in other emerging economies and for understanding supply chain adjustments under climate stress.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate risk, driven by global climate change and the rising frequency of extreme weather events, has emerged as a significant challenge for sustainable human development and economic stability. It is increasingly becoming a critical external factor that enterprises need to address in their future operations. The challenge of achieving rational labor allocation under climate risk has become critical for enterprises in the zero-carbon transition. Utilizing a unique manually-collected dataset encompassing 4181 Chinese listed firms (2012-2022), this study empirically examines the impact of climate risk shocks on corporate labor outsourcing behavior. The findings demonstrate that climate risk shocks significantly increase labor outsourcing expenditures, with results remaining robust across instrumental variable and alternative explanation exclusions. The effects are more pronounced in firms with limited cost-passing capacity, high financing constraints, and low-end business operations. Mechanism analysis reveals that climate risk shocks primarily exacerbate labor outsourcing expenditures through increased economic uncertainty and investment expenditure. Further analysis shows that intensified climate risks increase firms’ tax avoidance incentives and partially drive digital transformation initiatives. This research enhances understanding of enterprise labor decision-making under climate risk shocks, providing a solid theoretical basis for emerging market economies to balance labor resource allocation with adaptive strategies to address climate challenges. The findings also provide valuable insights for policymakers, highlighting the importance of developing inclusive labor market frameworks during the shift toward green industrial structures and stable employment policies.
