| ''Do political connections affect the environmental performance of Sharia-compliant and non-Sharia-compliant firms? Evidence from Indonesia's PROPER program'' |

| This study offers novel evidence by investigating the impact of political connections on the environmental performance of both Sharia-compliant and non-Sharia-compliant firms. We use a unique sample of firms covered by Indonesia's PROPER program over the 2013–2019 period. We find that political ties are less (more) valuable for Sharia-compliant firms (non-Sharia-compliant firms) in enhancing their environmental performance. These results are robust to testing against an alternative measure of corporate environmental performance. |
