企业数字化转型与绿色技术创新

Enterprise Digital Transformation and Green Technology Innovation

以高质量发展为引领的数字化转型战略能否推动企业绿色技术创新,是数字经济时代下的热点话题。基于2007—2021年我国沪深A股上市公司数据,本文实证检验了企业数字化转型对绿色技术创新的影响。研究结果表明,数字化转型能够有效推动企业绿色技术创新。机制检验证实,优化人力资本结构、降低信息不对称并强化市场正面预期、改善公司治理水平是数字化转型提升企业绿色技术创新的核心机制。异质性分析表明,在国有企业、低融资约束和技术密集型企业,以及低碳试点城市和东部地区,企业数字化转型对绿色技术创新的推动作用更为显著。本研究为理解企业数字化转型驱动绿色技术创新提供经验证据,并为我国推动数字化转型以促进经济高质量发展提供理论和实践参考。

Whether the digital transformation strategy led by high-quality development can promote the green technology innovation of enterprises is a major topic in the era of digital economy.Based on the data of China's A-share listed enterprises from 2007 to 2021,this paper empirically examines the impact of enterprise digital transformation on green technology innovation.The study finds that digital transformation can effectively promote enterprise green technology innovation.Mechanism tests confirm that digital transformation can promote enterprise green technology innovation by optimizing the structure of human capital,reducing information asymmetry and strengthening the positive market expectations,and improving corporate governance.Heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that the promotion of green technology innovation by digital transformation is more prominent in state-owned,low financing constraint and technology-intensive enterprises,as well as the low-carbon pilot city and the eastern region.This paper provides empirical evidence for understanding enterprise green technology innovation driven by digital transformation,and has certain theoretical implication and practical value for China to promote digital transformation to achieve high-quality economic development.
