| Abstract |
Based on data on polluting enterprises and city commercial banks in China from 2012 to 2020, this study examines the influence of this pilot policy on the green technology innovation of these polluting enterprises. The study found that: (1) The pilot policy incentivized green technology innovation and led to enhanced innovation both in terms of quality and quantity. Notably, the enhancement in innovation quality was primarily observed within state-owned enterprises. (2) This "reverse forcing" effect is mainly reflected in external pressure of financing constraints and internal incentives such as manager incentives and enterprise productivity. Capital element redistribution mechanism of city commercial banks plays an important role, and the effect of public pressure is less obvious. (3) Implementing this pilot policy for green technology innovation enhances the local technical level and environmental conditions. The results of this research not only underscore the significance of green finance in economic transformation, but also provides experience support for China to better use its pilot zones to drive green development across the country. |
