- Abstract
In response to the escalating challenges of climate change, the Chinese government has been actively developing climate policies, which face uncertainties related to climate change itself and varying levels of implementation. Carbon disclosure, a crucial mechanism for enterprises to showcase their environmental responsibility to stakeholders, is integral to their green and low-carbon development strategies. This study establishes a carbon disclosure quality evaluation index and employs a fixed-effects model to examine the relationship between climate policy uncertainty (CCPU) and corporate carbon disclosure quality (CDI). The analysis uses data from A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2010 to 2022. The results indicate that (1) CCPU has a positive impact on CDI; (2) CCPU enhances CDI by promoting corporate research and development (R&D) investments; (3) Government subsidies positively influence the relationship between CCPU and CDI.
