Abstract:

Objective: Emission-control enterprise(ECE) is not only one of the vital participants in carbon emission trading,but also the key party demanding for forest carbon sink (FCS) in the carbon market. Studying the process of forming the demands for FCS,and important influencing factors of ECE's demand willing of FCS is of great significance to scientifically guide the ECE to choose the way of emission reduction,to realize market and ecological forest ecological compensation. Method: Based on the framework of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Enterprise'Natural Resources-based views,this paper illustrates theoretical foundation and deep logical relationship of the influencing factors with behavior attitude,subjective norm and behavior control in ECE's demand willingness of FCS under the carbon emission trade,constructs a theoretical model of the demand willingness of FCS of ECE,uses 396 ECE's data to identify the important influencing factors with Heckman two-stage model. Result: Most of the ECEs will use FCS as much as possible on the premise that they are willing to choose FCS. Manager's environmental view,green enterprise'culture,double advantages,partnership,emission reduction cost,policy support have significant effects on the choice of FCS in ECE; while manager's environmental view,double advantages,partnership,emission reduction cost,policy support,consumer have significant effects on the demand degree of FCS in ECE; manager's environmental view,double advantages,partnership,emission reduction cost,policy support as the vital factors of FCS's demand willingness in ECE. Conclusion: From the perspective of managers' environmental ethics,stakeholders and enterprise emission reduction stress,this paper provides a new theoretical explanation for the formation process of FCS demand willingness in ECE,broadens the applicable scope of planned behavior theory in enterprise green emission reduction research,and provides theoretical reference and management enlightenment for increasing choice of FCS and promoting the realization of FCS market value in ECE.

Key words: emission control enterprises, forest carbon sink, demand willingness, theory of planned behavior, Heckman two-stage model
