Discussion of “Determinants of the Quality of Corporate Carbon Management Systems: An International Study”

Abstract

Luo and Tang (in press) argue that very limited research has been done to investigate the determinants of the quality of company’s carbon management system (CMS). Hence, they try to investigate the quality of a company’s CMS and its determinants. Their results show that the quality of the CMS improved. Howev\er, based on my analyses, the contribution of their study is limited. In addition, due to correlated omitted variables and other econometric problems, their results are suspect and unreliable.
