內(nèi)容提要：

Exploiting the pilot of China’s electronic Chinese yuan (e-CNY) as an exogenous shock, we find that a central bank digital currency (CBDC) reduces corporate tax avoidance among firms operating in the pilot areas compared to those not included in the pilot. We attribute these findings to the enhanced transparency, traceability, immutability, and programmability associated with the e-CNY, which curb corporate tax avoidance induced by agency problems. Consistent with this argument, we show that the introduction of the e-CNY effectively curtails related party transactions, negative accruals earnings management, and perquisite consumption. The alleviating effect of e-CNY on tax avoidance is more pronounced for firms with weaker internal and external governance mechanisms. Consequently, firms that reduce tax avoidance due to e-CNY adoption subsequently experience lower stock price crash risks and higher market values. Our findings highlight the potential of CBDC as a complementary governance tool that reduces opportunistic corporate behaviors. However, it is also essential to prudently utilize the transparency and traceability features of CBDCs to mitigate privacy and surveillance concerns.

利用中國電子人民幣（e-CNY）試點作為外生沖擊，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，與未納入試點的企業(yè)相比，央行數(shù)字貨幣（CBDC）減少了在試點地區(qū)經(jīng)營的企業(yè)的避稅行為。我們將這些發(fā)現(xiàn)歸因于與e-CNY相關(guān)的增強的透明度、可追溯性、不變性和可編程性，這抑制了由代理問題引起的企業(yè)避稅。與這一論點相一致的是，我們證明了E-CNY的引入有效地減少了關(guān)聯(lián)方交易、負應(yīng)計項目、盈余管理和額外津貼消費。對于內(nèi)部和外部治理機制較弱的企業(yè)，E-CNY對避稅的緩解作用更為明顯。因此，由于采用e-CNY而減少避稅的公司隨后會經(jīng)歷較低的股價崩潰風險和較高的市場價值。我們的研究結(jié)果強調(diào)了CBDC作為減少機會主義企業(yè)行為的補充治理工具的潛力。然而，謹慎地利用CBDC的透明度和可追溯性特征，以減輕隱私和監(jiān)視問題也是至關(guān)重要的。
