Abstract

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.
