Media and Green Transition Peking University, China, People's Republic of This paper studies how independent media can shape nationwide green transition, leveraging the release of a documentary in China that criticized coal consumption as a key contributor to air pollution. We first construct an original, high-frequency dataset capturing citizen sentiments and green industrial policies across Chinese cities. We then exploit exogenous cross-sectional variation in coal-bearing strata in each city together with high-frequency outcomes for identification. Our findings indicate that the documentary significantly heightened negative public sentiment and triggered a substantial increase in government green policy initiatives, highlighting the power of individual media in driving the transition towards a greener world. | |
