Can Agriculture-Related Enterprises’ Green Technological Innovation Ride the “Digital Inclusive Finance” Wave?
Ning Gu et al.
What the paper says
This article systematically examines how digital inclusive finance drives green technological innovation in agriculture-related enterprises. The findings reveal three key insights. First, digital inclusive finance fosters both the “quantity expansion” and “quality enhancement” of green technological innovation in agriculture-related enterprises. Second, this effect operates through three mechanisms: improving financial accessibility, reducing information asymmetry, and stimulating innovation vitality. Third, the impact of digital inclusive finance is heterogeneous – its driving effect is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises, highly digitally transformed firms, businesses in non-heavily polluting industries, and enterprises located in eastern China. In summary, this article uncovers an important channel through which digital inclusive finance promotes green technological innovation in agriculture-related enterprises and provides empirical evidence for relevant policy formulation.
