Effects of country risks and government subsidies on renewable energy firms' performance: Evidence from China

Wenwen Zhang et al.

Summary: This study empirically explores the relationship between country risks and renewable energy firms' performance, as well as the moderating effect of government subsidies on this relationship. The results show that reducing economic and financial risks improves firm performance, while reducing political and composite risks leads to a decline in firm performance. Additionally, subsidies have a negative moderating effect on the relationship between country risks and firm performance. State-owned and private-owned renewable energy firms exhibit different relationships among country risks, subsidies, and firm performance, with private-owned firms being more sensitive to country risks.
