本論文は中国のエネルギー使用権取引制度がネットゼロ起業に与える影響を分析。DMLとCausal Forestを用いた因果推計により、制度がイノベーションと炭素ガバナンス意識を通じて起業を促進することを示した。また、ビジネス環境改善やグリーンクレジット拡大などのメカニズムを特定。地域による効果の違いも明らかにした。
English
This study examines the impact of China's energy use rights trading (EURT) policy on net-zero entrepreneurship. Using DML and Causal Forest methods on provincial panel data (2011-2021), it finds that EURT significantly promotes such entrepreneurship by enhancing innovation and carbon governance awareness, while improving the business environment and expanding green credit access. Heterogeneous effects are stronger in central-western, less industrialized, and renewable-rich regions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Achieving net-zero emissions requires not only technological innovation but also the emergence of entrepreneurial activity aligned with climate goals. This study aims to identify the effects of China's energy use rights trading policy (EURT)—a market-based, upstream-control environmental regulation—on net-zero entrepreneurship (NZE). To assess panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2021, we employ DML and Causal Forest methods to identify causal effects and uncover underlying mechanisms. The results indicate that EURT significantly promotes NZE by enhancing innovation and carbon governance awareness, although it has no significant impact on energy consumption awareness and slightly dampens risk-taking. Mechanism analysis reveals that the policy facilitates NZE by improving the business environment, expanding access to green credit, and encouraging pro-environmental public behavior. The heterogeneity test demonstrates that the positive impacts are more pronounced in central-western, less industrialized, and renewable-rich regions. These findings highlight the potential of market-oriented environmental instruments to foster climate-aligned entrepreneurial ecosystems and inform the design of differentiated, mechanism-sensitive policy interventions.
