Chinese A-share listed firms' climate risk perception and carbon emissions data from 2010 to 2023. The dataset contains 31,238 firm-year observations derived from textual analysis of annual report MD&A sections. It was created by Zechen Yang and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between climate risk disclosure intensity and carbon emissions based on textual analysis of annual reports.
• Investigate the mediating role of financing constraints and agency costs on corporate decarbonization efforts.
• Compare the impact of climate risk perception across different regulatory environments and firm ownership types.
• Test hypotheses related to the constraint-signaling view of environmental disclosure.

Strengths

• 31,238 firm-year observations provide a substantial panel for longitudinal analysis.
• Data spans 14 years (2010-2023), offering a long-term perspective.
• Analysis employs firm, industry, and year fixed effects, instrumental variable, and propensity score matching approaches.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a 19.0 KB DOCX file, suggesting limited scope or summary data rather than raw observations.
