中国の排出権取引制度(CETS)が企業の環境・社会(E&S)開示に与える影響を、制度理論に基づく圧力・能力・認知フレームワークで分析。2013~2024年の段階的導入を自然実験とし、2010~2024年の上場企業1,682社・16,348社年データを用いた多期間DID推定により、CETSがE&S開示を有意に増加させることを示した。強制的参加では社会的開示のみ促進(正当性補償メカニズム)、非強制的参加では環境・社会の両開示を促進(戦略的シグナリング)する。さらに、業務効率は負に、経営者の環境関心は正に調整効果を持つ。
English
This study examines how China's carbon emissions trading schemes (CETS) affect firms' environmental and social (E&S) disclosure using an institutional theory framework. Exploiting staggered CETS implementation (2013-2024) as a quasi-natural experiment with 16,348 firm-year observations from 1,682 listed firms, multi-period DID analysis shows CETS significantly increases E&S disclosure. Coercive participation triggers legitimacy compensation (social disclosure only), while non-coercive participation promotes both environmental and social disclosure as strategic signaling. Operational efficiency negatively moderates, while managerial environmental focus positively moderates, the relationship.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈では、カーボンプライシング(排出量取引)が企業開示行動に与える影響を示す点で示唆的。SSBJ開示義務化やカーボンプライシング導入議論において、企業の開示戦略が制度圧力と内部能力に依存することを示し、日本の政策設計や企業対応に参考となる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper contributes to the literature on carbon pricing and corporate disclosure, relevant to TCFD/ISSB/CSRD frameworks. It demonstrates that market-based instruments like ETS can drive E&S disclosure beyond environmental reporting, with heterogeneous responses based on institutional pressures and firm capabilities. This informs global policymakers designing carbon pricing mechanisms and disclosure mandates.

📄 Abstract(原文)
ABSTRACT Carbon emissions trading schemes (CETS) are a prominent market‐based instrument for addressing climate change, yet their effects on corporate disclosure remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on institutional theory, we develop a pressure–capability–cognition framework to examine how CETS influence firms' environmental and social (E&S) disclosure and how institutional pressures and internal organizational factors shape heterogeneous disclosure responses. Exploiting the staggered implementation of China's CETS between 2013 and 2024 as a quasi‐natural experiment, we employ a multi‐period difference‐in‐differences design using 16,348 firm‐year observations from 1682 listed firms between 2010 and 2024. We report three principal findings. First, CETS significantly increase the level of firm E&S disclosure, indicating that the influence of CETS extends beyond environmental reporting to social responsibility disclosure. Second, institutional pressures generate distinct disclosure strategies. Under coercive participation, CETS exhibits a marginally significant positive effect on social disclosure but no significant effect on environmental disclosure, consistent with a legitimacy compensation mechanism whereby firms offset environmental legitimacy deficits through low‐cost, highly visible symbolic reporting. By contrast, under non‐coercive participation, CETS significantly promotes both environmental and social disclosure, suggesting that firms use disclosure as a strategic signaling device. Third, operational efficiency negatively moderates the CETS–disclosure relationship, whereas managerial environmental focus positively moderates this relationship, revealing that internal capabilities and managerial cognition condition the effectiveness of institutional pressures in shaping disclosure outcomes. These findings contribute to sustainable operations management research by demonstrating how institutional pressures interact with operational capabilities and managerial cognition to shape corporate sustainability disclosure.
