Yalin Jiang, Fengying Wang, Chong Guo, and Yingyu Wu

Abstract—While supporting the development of green industries, the upgrading and transformation of heavily-polluting (HP) industries are of great significance to the achievement of the dual objectives of economic advancement and environmental protection in China. Green innovation (GI) is a crucial measure to address the development threats faced by HP industries. This paper studies the impact of green finance (GF) on the HP firms’ GI, the results show a positive association between GF and HP firms’ GI, indicating that GF can stimulate HP firms to improve their GI. Additionally, the positive effect of GF on GI is heterogeneous depending on property rights and corporate regions, state-owned enterprises, and companies located in central and eastern regions have a higher level of green innovation. Our findings provide important policy implications for promoting HP firms’ green development.

Index Terms—Heavily-polluting industries, green finance, green innovation, China.
