This study examines the influence of corporate ESG performance on green innovation based on the data of 2024 A-share listed firms in China from 2009 to 2020. We find that ESG performance has a significantly positive impact on green innovation. Mechanism analysis reveals that excellent ESG performance contributes to relieving financing constraints, enhancing the level of corporate human capital, and improving management myopia, thus positively influencing corporate green innovation. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive effect of ESG performance on green innovation is more pronounced in firms with strong innovation capacity, non-state enterprises, firms in non-polluting industries, firms located in areas with high marketization, and firms in poor macroeconomic environments. Further analyses prove that good ESG performance also helps to enhance the quality of green innovation, the efficiency of green innovation, and the proportion of collaborative green innovation. These results offer important implications for improving firm ESG performance and promoting corporate green innovation.

Previous studies have suggested that there may be a possible relationship between type 2 diabetes and health-related behaviors such as consuming alcohol, smoking and pregnancy. However, there is little data exploring the association between diabetes and health-related behaviors in a general US population of adult males, and the findings of earlier studies are limitied. This study's goal is to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes and health-related behaviors among adult men from the US. This study used several models and a method to evaluate the relationship between type 2 diabetes and risk factors through the BRFSS 2015 results. The comprehensive results of all variations suggest that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high BMI, history of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease, having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs, bad general health condition, high ages, lower income are dangerous risk behaviors for getting diabetes in US male adults.
