內(nèi)容提要:
The use of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels is at the core of transitioning to a greener economy, whereas how such a transition impacts the corporate sector is unclear. We employ the Renewable Portfolio Standards’ adoption in the United States as an exogenous shock to companies’ energy costs and tackle the above question through the lens of the value of corporate cash holdings. We find RPS’ adoption significantly increases companies’ value of cash and such an effect is stronger for firms with greater financial constraints, weaker market power, lower internal capital mobility, higher growth opportunities, higher electricity intensity, or facing more stringent RPS compliance requirements. Cash holdings also increase significantly after the RPS’ adoption. Our study demonstrates the precautionary motive plays a more significant role for companies’ asset liquidity management under renewable energy policies.
用可再生能源替代化石燃料是向綠色經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)型的核心,然而這種轉(zhuǎn)型如何影響企業(yè)部門(mén)尚不明確。我們利用美國(guó)《可再生能源配額標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》(Renewable Portfolio Standards, RPS)的實(shí)施作為企業(yè)能源成本的外生沖擊,并通過(guò)企業(yè)現(xiàn)金持有價(jià)值的視角來(lái)探討上述問(wèn)題。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),RPS的實(shí)施顯著提高了企業(yè)的現(xiàn)金持有價(jià)值,且這種影響在融資約束較大、市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力較弱、內(nèi)部資本流動(dòng)性較低、增長(zhǎng)機(jī)會(huì)較高、電力密集度較高或面臨更嚴(yán)格RPS合規(guī)要求的企業(yè)中更為顯著。此外,RPS實(shí)施后,企業(yè)的現(xiàn)金持有量也顯著增加。我們的研究表明,在可再生能源政策下,預(yù)防性動(dòng)機(jī)在企業(yè)資產(chǎn)流動(dòng)性管理中發(fā)揮了更為重要的作用。
