摘要：
This paper examines the relationship between government-guided fund (GGF) investment and corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance using China's A-share companies that received GGFs from 2013 to 2022. Our analysis indicates a significant negative correlation between GGFs holdings and ESG performance, with one period lagged effect. This negative correlation is pronounced for non-state-owned enterprises but insignificant for stateowned enterprises. For state-owned enterprises, robust regional economic development and stringent environmental regulations mitigate the negative GGF correlation. This study provides new insights into the relation of GGFs with corporate sustainability.
