Article Description

Marine oil spill disasters occur frequently and have serious economic impacts on coastal activities. Taking Penglai 19-3 oil spill (PL 19-3 oil spill) event as an example, this paper employs a difference-in-difference estimation method to examine the impact of marine oil spill on corporate performance. The main results show that the PL19-3 oil spill reduces the net revenue of ocean-related enterprises relying on the Bohai Sea and coastal resources. The negative impact of the PL19-3 oil spill increases initially, then stabilize over time. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis reveals that marine secondary industry is more likely to be affected by PL19-3 oil spill than marine primary and tertiary industries. Oil spill disasters are also found to reveal great influences on the non-state-owned and young enterprises. This paper provides important implications for companies and governments to respond to oil spill disasters quickly to reduce economic and ecological losses.
