Assessing the business interruption costs from power outages in China

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: This study develops a Dynamic Inoperability Input-output Model to assess the business interruption costs (BICs) from a provincial extremely big electricity outage event. It is found that the total BIC of an outage event is about 1.44 billion yuan, and the first 24 hours of the recovery period account for about 70% of the total BICs. The study also explores the impact of sectoral interdependencies on the estimated BICs.

Impact of credit guarantee on firm performance: Evidence from China's SMEs

Jian Yu et al.

Summary: Using survey data on SMEs in China, this study examines the impact of credit guarantees on the performance of guarantors and guaranteed SMEs. The results show that credit guarantees increase the probability and amount of bank loans obtained by SMEs, as well as R&D expenditures, fixed asset investments, and total factor productivity. The findings highlight the importance of credit guarantees in improving SMEs' access to financing and promoting their overall development.

Notching R&D Investment with Corporate Income Tax Cuts in China

Zhao Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that under a Chinese policy, firms receive substantial tax cuts by relabeling expenses as R&D, leading to a significant increase in reported R&D. Structural estimates show that relabeling accounts for 24.2% of reported R&D, and doubling R&D would increase productivity by 9%.

The Impact of Temperature on Productivity and Labor Supply: Evidence from Indian Manufacturing

E. Somanathan et al.

Summary: Hotter years in developing countries lead to lower economic output, with temperature affecting labor productivity and absenteeism. Climate control can effectively mitigate productivity losses, and for every degree Celsius increase, annual plant output falls by around 2% in Indian factories.

Economic Impact Assessment of Severe Weather-Induced Power Outages in the US

Arkaprabha Bhattacharyya et al.

Summary: This study estimated the economic losses to the US GDP due to severe weather-induced power outages, showing that a 1% inoperability in the utility sector would result in an estimated GDP loss of about $11.6 billion in 2019 values. These results can be used to provide investment guidance, justify the need for investment in long-term resilience planning in the utility sector, and identify vulnerable industries.

The effectiveness of China's regional carbon market pilots in reducing firm emissions

Jingbo Cui et al.

Summary: China has implemented an emission trading system (ETS) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with regional pilots showing effectiveness in reducing firm emissions. However, the economic consequences of the ETS on regulated firms are mixed, impacting employment and capital input negatively but incentivizing productivity improvements. Despite notable heterogeneity across pilots, factors like mass-based allowance allocation, higher carbon prices, and active allowance trading contribute to more pronounced effects in emission abatement.

Carbon emission reduction characteristics for China's manufacturing firms: Implications for formulating carbon policies

Yunfei An et al.

Summary: This study used DEA-GS model to analyze the carbon reduction characteristics of China's manufacturing industry, finding that as the marginal abatement costs of firms increase, the growth rates of emission reduction activities and emission reduction slow down. The impact of marginal abatement costs on reduction activities and firms in each sub-sector is heterogeneous. The emission reduction behaviors of manufacturing firms are mostly concentrated in developed areas or around large cities.

The determinants of electricity constraints by firms in developing countries

Elizabeth Asiedu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that firms that experienced power outages and those in the manufacturing industry are more likely to be energy poor, whereas majority-owned government firms and older firms are less likely. Energy poverty of firms increases with the frequency and duration of outages. Additionally, firms operating in countries with weak institutions and limited access to electricity are more prone to energy poverty.

Sustainable development goals and firm carbon emissions: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Xiaoguang Liu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that incorporating emissions reduction targets into long-term development plans significantly impacts energy conservation and emissions reduction in Chinese firms, achieved through optimizing energy consumption structure and increasing investment in green technologies. Non-state-owned firms, firms without government financial subsidies, and firms with high external financing dependence put more effort into reducing carbon emissions to comply with adjusted goals.

Economic costs of electricity load shedding in Nepal*

Govinda Timilsina et al.

Summary: Nepal faced a severe electricity supply shortage between 2007 and 2017, causing significant economic losses, which could have been avoided with a reliable power supply. However, improvements made after 2017 have eliminated load shedding, but ongoing efforts are needed to keep up with the increasing electricity demand and prevent future economic losses.

The role of national carbon pricing in phasing out China's coal power

Jianlei Mo et al.

Summary: As the country with the world's largest coal power capacity, China is implementing a national carbon market to reduce carbon emissions. Research shows that while China's coal plants have a long lifespan, the implementation of carbon pricing will reduce their remaining lifespan and decrease CO2 emissions.

Quality of Life and Relative Household Energy Consumption in China

Xunpeng Shi et al.

Summary: This study reveals the existence of convergence clubs in relative household energy consumption with consumption upgrading, especially more evident in lower middle and low quality of life groups. Significant disparities are found among urban and rural households as well as different regions within the same quality of life group. The results suggest that an improvement in quality of life does not necessarily lead to a higher level of energy consumption.

Lights Off, Lights On: The Effects of Electricity Shortages on Small Firms

Morgan Hardy et al.

Summary: The impact of power outages on small firms varies, with firms without employees experiencing significant decreases in revenue and profits while firms with employees see changes in output, worker hours, and weekly wages paid. The analysis does not reject the null hypothesis that blackouts have no effect on worker hourly wages at the average firm level.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on manufacturing firms' carbon emission intensity in China, finding a significantly positive effect of EPU on carbon emission intensity. The channels through which EPU influences carbon emission intensity are mainly the share of fossil fuels in total energy consumption and energy intensity.
