Title	Green finance policy and digital transformation of heavily polluting firms: Evidence from China
Year	2023
Published
Abstract	In this paper, we use the "Green Credit Performance Evaluation of Banking Depository Financial Institutions" implemented by the People's Bank of China as a quasi-natural experiment and a difference-in-differences (DID) approach to examine the impact of green finance policy on the digital transformation of heavily polluting firms. The results show that firms' digital transformation is effectively driven by green finance policy. The policy effect is more pronounced among low financing-constrained firms, state-owned firms, and firms with high analyst coverage. Furthermore, green finance policy influences the digital transformation of firms primarily by increasing digital outcomes and guiding management's strategic direction.
