| Abstract | Difficulty in financing and low financing efficiency is one of the bottlenecks that restrict the high-quality development of China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry and economy. The key to improving financing efficiency is to understand its influencing factors. This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist index to measure the overall financing efficiency and the efficiency of different financing methods of 205 Chinese energy-saving and environmental protection industries from 2015 to 2020 from static and dynamic perspectives, respectively, as well as the Tobit model to estimate the impact of factors such as the digital transformation and green technological innovation of enterprises on financing efficiency. The study shows the following: (1) Static analysis shows that: the financing efficiency of the comprehensive technical efficiency of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry is less than one, 5.8% to 23.41% of enterprises have very effective comprehensive technical financing efficiency, and fewer than 9% enterprises have very effective scale efficiency levels. Enterprises may have more room for improving their financing efficiency in the future. The four types of financing are, namely, internal financing, equity financing, fiscal financing, and debt financing, in descending order of efficiency. (2) Dynamic analysis shows that the financing efficiencies of debt financing and fiscal financing are both on an upward trend, while internal and equity financing efficiencies are on a downward trend. Additionally, the technological progress change index and scale efficiency are two key factors affecting the financing efficiency of different financing methods. (3) In terms of financing methods, the comprehensive technical efficiency and scale efficiency of endogenous financing and equity financing are high, while the comprehensive technical efficiency and scale efficiency of debt financing and fiscal financing are low and flat. (4) Digital transformation, green technology innovation, the asset-liability ratio, profitability, and operational capability have a significant positive impact on the financing efficiency of energy-saving and environmental protection enterprises. This paper studies the financing efficiency of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry under different financing methods and the mechanism through which key factors affect the financing efficiency of enterprises. It aims to provide a theoretical basis for managing financing methods scientifically and rationally and improving the financing efficiency of the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, as well as to provide practical reference for the implementation of digital transformation, green technology innovation and diversified financing in China and other developing economies. |
