Summary/Abstract |
Based on environmental Kuznets curve theory, a panel data model which takes environmental regulation and technical progress as its moderating factors was developed to analyse the institutional and technical factors that affect the path of low-carbon economic development. The results indicated that there was a CO2 emission Kuznets curve seen in China. Environmental regulation had a significant moderating effect on the curve, and the inflection of CO2 emissions could come substantially earlier under stricter environmental regulation. Meanwhile, the impact of technical progress on the low-carbon economic development path had a longer hysteresis effect but restrained CO2 emission during its increasing stage and accelerated its downward trend during the decreasing stage which was conducive to emission reduction. Strict environmental regulation could force the high-carbon emitting industries to transfer from the eastern regions to the central or the western regions of China, which would make the CO2 Kuznets curve higher in its increasing stage and lower in its decreasing stage than that under looser regulation. Furthermore, energy efficiency, energy structure, and industrial structure exerted a significant direct impact on CO2 emissions; we should consider the above factors as essential in the quest for low-carbon economic development.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper studies the market reactions to corporate philanthropic giving in response to the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China. Based on a sample of 136 Chinese listed companies, our results indicate a significant and positive seven-day cumulative abnormal rise in the share prices of those companies making donations compared to those not making donations. Both timeliness and the amount of philanthropic giving generate significant market reactions, confirming Godfrey's assertion that corporate philanthropy can be perceived as a genuine manifestation of firms' underlying desire to raise their market values. However, when the sample firms are divided into two groups, government controlled and non-government controlled, Godfrey's assertion is challenged by our empirical results which show different market responses to the two different types of companies.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper looks at the IPO underpricing puzzle in a political economy perspective, as previous theories have considered only the 'market economy factor' in IPO underpricing, and failed to incorporate the 'political economy factor' in determining IPO underpricing. This is particularly relevant to emerging markets such as China, where the IPO is not only a process of raising fresh capital, but also one of privatisation. By examining the Chinese case with the political economy perspective, we find that the IPO underpricing is negatively related to the proportion of the shares held by various government organisations. We also offer explanations using an angle of political economy.
