Political connections and the cleantech transition in China and Australia

据估计，向清洁技术的过渡可能会在全球创造20万亿美元的财富。该项目旨在分析中国和澳大利亚如何部署企业投资和政府战略，以最大限度地获取财富。考虑到政府政策在清洁技术转型中的关键作用，该项目试图确定碳密集型和清洁技术公司如何利用政治关系作为降低风险和利用机遇的机制。该项目聚焦于政治关联董事会和清洁技术转型之间的关系，并试图实证地展示两国政治关联的经济重要性和价值效应。

Estimates show that the transition to clean technology will likely create $20 trillion in wealth worldwide. This project aims to analyse how corporate investment and government strategies are deployed in China and Australia to maximise wealth capture. Taking into consideration the critical role of government policy in the cleantech transition, the project attempts to determine how carbon-intensive and cleantech firms use political connections as a mechanism for mitigating risks and taking advantage of opportunities. This project focuses on the relation between politically connected boards and the cleantech transition, and seeks to empirically show the economic importance and value effects of political connections in two countries.
