“…Liu et al (2021) considered human health as the transmission mechanism through which air pollution affects human wellbeing. Shen et al (2021) found that air pollution greatly increased the possibility of depression; sad emotions, poor self-control, and comprehension are all seriously affected by air pollution (Balakrishnan and Tsaneva 2022). At the same time, air pollution can also have a serious impact on human behavior.…”

We provide insights and innovative ideas for China to achieve green development and promote high-quality economic development by studying the impact of air quality on enterprise productivity. This paper uses data from 2008 to 2016 for A-share companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, as well as the levels of particulate matter under 2.5 μm in diameter for 214 major Chinese cities. At the same time, this paper innovatively applies regression discontinuity and the Spatial Durbin Model for empirical testing. Considering the endogeneity, we choose the air flow index as an instrumental variable and the generalized space two-stage least squares method for the endogenous test. Additionally, we use dynamic regression and different spatial weight matrix to conduct robustness tests and reselect data from 2008 to 2012 and 2013 to 2016 as samples. Moreover, we test corporate heterogeneity from three perspectives: pollutant type, firm equity, and an industry’s technological level. The results show that the deterioration of local air quality significantly inhibits firm productivity, while the spatial spillover effects of pollution from surrounding cities also have a significant dampening effect on firm productivity. This negative effect is transmitted through research and development innovation capacity, human capital, and government subsidies. This empirical evidence from listed companies can be used for evaluating air quality management to enhance enterprise productivity, as well as to provide policy recommendations for boosting firm productivity through improved air quality.

“…Environmental pollution includes a range of issues such as air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and light pollution (LoPalo and Spears, 2022). Compared to other pollution issues, the high mobility of air makes it more likely that residents will be exposed to air pollution, and residents will suffer greater impacts and harm from air pollution (Manisalidis et al, 2020), which may even lead to respiratory diseases and lung cancer (Turner et al, 2020), and may also increase residents' anxiety or mental illness caused by excessive psychological stress, etc (Bruyneel et al, 2022;Balakrishnan and Tsaneva, 2023). We know that air pollution affects the physical and mental health of residents, and that risk management is needed when households are exposed to air pollution risks.…”

As Chinese residents are increasingly concerned about environmental and health issues, the importance of commercial health insurance has come to the fore. Therefore, it is necessary to study the relationship and mechanism between air pollution and commercial health insurance. This paper empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of air pollution on the sustainable development of Chinese commercial health insurance. The analysis is conducted using the IV-probit and IV-tobit models with thermal inversion as the instrumental variable for air pollution, with Chinese households as the study population and 2018 as the study period. The results show that PM2.5 concentration has a positive and significant effect on both household participation in commercial health insurance and the level of participation, and that residents’ concern is an important channel linking air pollution and commercial health insurance, where pollution reporting plays a negative transmission role, protective behaviors play a positive transmission role, and healthy depreciation plays a positive transmission role. The results of this study contribute to the comprehensive development of China’s social security system and the sustainable development of the commercial health insurance market.
