内容提要：
The Watershed Ecological Compensation (WEC) policy in China, implemented since 2008, involves both inter and intra-government compensations, with water quality assessed at the inlet or outlet of shared river basins. By 2022, 19 provinces had inter-provincial WEC policies, and over 29 provinces had inter-city WEC policies. This study investigates the effects of the WEC policy on firm-level water pollutions employing staggered difference-in-difference estimations. We find statistically significant causal effects of the WEC policy, reducing industrial wastewater (IWW) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) emissions by approximately 6% and 10%, respectively. Horizontal WEC policies, involving fund transfers between governments at the same jurisdiction level, are found to be more effective than vertical policies with fund transfers from upper- to lower-level governments. The reduction effects are more pronounced for high-polluting industries and firms, as well as among firms in cities with more stringent environmental regulations, less fiscal deficit pressure, and in economically advanced Eastern China. Additionally, larger firms, those paying higher value-added taxes, and state-owned enterprises show greater reductions in IWW and COD emissions.
