We present evidence that firms with greater asset redeployability are more likely to engage in green innovation activities, as measured by corporate green patents and citations. This finding supports the notion of funding flexibility and withstands numerous robustness and endogeneity tests. The relationship is particularly pronounced for firms facing high climate change uncertainty, as well as those in high-polluting industries. Moreover, we find further evidence that the pursuit of green innovation is associated with improved firm value over the long term. These insights shed light on how asset redeployability correlates with both innovation outcomes and firm performance within the context of green finance for sustainable development.

This research investigates the impact of cyberattacks on tax aggressiveness using a difference-in-differences analysis with a matched sample. We find that firms experiencing cyberattacks are more likely to have lower cash effective tax rates and greater discretionary book-tax differences. We further show that cyberattacks have a greater impact on corporate tax aggressiveness when firms are more exposed to financial distress. Additional analyses show tax aggressiveness increases less when firms are in states with enactments of notification laws and firms with ex ante higher cybersecurity investment. Our aggregate results suggest that firms take more tax risky positions in response to greater financial distress and information asymmetry, which are attributed to the consequences of cyberattacks.
