疏堵相济:能源大数据与安全生产OA

Traditional regulatory models often lack the capacity for real-time monitoring of production processes,leading to superficial ex ante safety oversight and purely reactive ex post measures.Energy big data centers,characterized by"data-energy integration,"pro-vide a novel model for workplace safety governance.This study treated the construction of energy big data centers as a quasi-natural ex-periment and employed data from listed companies covering the period 2015-2023 to empirically examine the impact of energy big data on workplace safety.The findings revealed that:(1)The construction of energy big data centers significantly inhibited the occurrence of workplace safety accidents,a finding that remained robust across a series of robustness checks.(2)Energy big data substantially en-hanced regulators'efficacy in real-time monitoring of excessive workloads;consequently,its safety effect was more pronounced in compa-nies with heavier workloads.(3)By providing additional credit information,energy big data benefited firms facing financing constraints;thus,its safety effect was stronger in financially constrained firms.(4)Regarding the motivation of regulatory actors:first,news media ex-erted significant public pressure on regulators,amplifying the safety effect in firms with higher media attention;second,regulators'own willingness to supervise served as a key internal driver,making the safety effect more evident in regions with stronger government safety supervision intentions.(5)Concerning the characteristics of regulated entities:first,firms with higher violation risks attracted greater regulatory attention,so the inhibitory effect on safety accidents was stronger in firms with higher workplace safety risks;second,firms with lower corporate social responsibility commitments faced lower social costs for violating labor standards,leading to a more signifi-cant safety effect in these firms.The empirical results indicated that energy big data centers embodying"data-energy integration"served as crucial tools for helping regulators overcome the limitations of traditional models.Furthermore,the dual-pronged regulatory approach of"balancing facilitation and restriction"developed on the basis of energy big data yielded significant governance effects on corporate workplace safety.
