题目:Renewable Energy Transition and the Value of Cash

摘要:The use of renewable energy is at the core of transitioning towards a net-zero economy, whereas how such a transition impacts the corporate sector is unclear. We find exogenous policy shocks to companies’ energy input significantly increases companies’ value of cash and such an effect is stronger for firms with greater financial constraints, weaker market power, lower internal capital mobility, higher growth opportunities, higher electricity intensity, or facing more stringent RPS compliance requirements. Cash holdings also increase significantly. Our study demonstrates the precautionary motive becomes more prominent for companies’ asset liquidity during the renewable-energy transition.
