如何协调好以减税降费为代表的经济刺激政策与“碳达峰、碳中和”的历史使命是当今中国面临的重大挑战。鉴于提升能源效率是减少碳排放和控制能源消费的关键,文章通过构建结构性减税与企业能源效率的理论模型,以2004年开始在东北三省八大行业实施的增值税由生产型转向消费型的结构性减税政策这一“准自然实验”为例,使用三重差分方法和企业能源消费数据,从理论逻辑和经验分析两个方面考察了税收激励对企业能源效率的影响及其内在机制。研究发现,税收激励显著提升了企业的能源效率,这一结论在一系列稳健性检验中均成立;弹性估计结果表明,增值税税率每降低1%,能源效率将提升0.58%;机制分析表明,税收激励主要通过要素投入结构效应和技术效应实现了生产效率的改善,从而提升了企业能源效率;异质性分析表明,税收激励更多地提升了东部地区以及非资源型城市、高污染行业以及资本密集型行业、国有和集体以及中小规模企业的能源效率。文章将减税降费的效应分析拓展到碳污染治理上,丰富了税收激励与能源效率的相关文献,为在严峻的国际国内经济形势下实现稳增长与碳减排的高质量协同发展提供了有益借鉴,也为如何用好减税政策实现社会经济的高质量发展提供了学理支持和决策参考。
