Can Fee-to-Tax Reform Deliver Multiple Dividends? Evidence on the Environmental, Technological, and Economic Effects in Water-Intensive Firms

Using a multi-period difference-in-differences design on Chinese water-intensive firms, this study finds that the water resource fee-to-tax reform successfully generates environmental and technological dividends by reducing water consumption and boosting innovation, though its economic benefits remain conditional and uneven across firm stages and regional water scarcity levels.
