Abstract

We investigate corporate environmental responsibility (CER) in the context of international trade and emission permit competition between two countries. Our analysis reveals that CER does not affect the issuance of emission permits or the resulting emissions in these countries. However, a higher level of CER enhances firms' private profits. These findings suggest that firms may adopt CER voluntarily to increase their profitability.
