| Abstract | This paper employs a propensity score matching approach to construct a control group and estimate the impact of the CETS pilot policy, a low-carbon financial policy, on corporate green innovation and its impact mechanism in a difference-in-difference manner. The results show that the CETS pilot policy has a significantly positive effect on corporate green innovation. The higher the penalty degree and the carbon price, the more obvious the promotion of the green innovation of pilot enterprises. The mechanism test shows that the improvement of corporate green innovation is mainly due to the incentive effect rather than the anti-driving effect of the CETS pilot policy, that is, the policy promotes corporate green innovation by providing innovation resources and enhancing the willingness to innovate. Further analysis shows that only in regions where local governments have less competitive pressure can the CETS pilot policy effectively promote enterprise innovation resources and that a close and clean government-business relationship can help strengthen the promotion effect of the CETS pilot policy on the willingness of enterprises to innovate. Furthermore, this paper introduces its theoretical framework as a strategic tripod to explore the friction in the process of the CETS pilot policy affecting corporate green innovation from the perspective of the industry environment and corporate resources. This research shows that a lack of industry green technology and corporate human capital may hinder the positive impact of the CETS pilot policy on corporate green innovation. Finally, this study found that the CETS pilot policy has no significant impact on the quality of corporate green innovation, and the lack of industry green technology and corporate human capital may hinder the CETS pilot policy from improving the quality of corporate green innovation. |
