Managerial ability and corporate greenhouse gas emissions
研究发现，管理能力更强的企业高管能显著降低企业温室气体排放，包括直接排放和间接排放，且结果在控制多种因素后依然稳健。
Top managers are responsible for important decisions and their efficient implementation. Therefore, higher ability is more likely to lead to effective practice and favourable firm outcomes. This paper examines the association between managerial ability and corporate greenhouse gas emissions. The results suggest that firms with more able managers have lower greenhouse gas emissions. The disaggregation of total greenhouse gas emissions into Scope 1 emissions and Scope 2 emissions shows that managerial ability is negatively associated with both components. The results hold while controlling for various firm and country-level attributes and econometric specifications mitigating endogeneity concerns.
