摘要：   

 In this study, we examine how government debt responds to environmental policies when governments are endowed with inadequately supervised fiscal flexibility. We find that a strengthening of environmental policy worsened the local economy and encouraged Chinese local governments to increase the issuance of more flexible but less regulated off-budget debts. Further analysis indicates that the social costs of this additional flexibility were closely related to the urgency local officials felt to receive a promotion and the historical debt reliance. The Chinese experience is consistent with the predictions of theoretical models and also instructive for coordinating fiscal and environmental policies.
