摘要
Our study investigates the impact of environmental regulations on firms’ acquisition strate-gies, utilizing the implementation of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in China. We find that firms compliant with the ETS are more likely to acquire firms in non-compliant regions, particularly those facing high market competition, weaker corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance, financial constraints, or reduced media scrutiny. These acquisitions typically oc-cur within the same industry but under less stringent environmental regulations, leading to posi-tive M&A announcement returns but negatively impacting corporate innovation. This pattern indicates a strategic evasion of strict regulations through M&As, highlighting the need for co-ordinated environmental policies to prevent corporate carbon emissions relocation.
