Does green innovation mitigate financing constraints? Evidence from China’s private enterprises

R&D investment and financing efficiency in Chinese environmental protection enterprises: perspectives of COVID-19 and supply chain financial regulation

“…Second, this study finds that R&D investment inhibits the improvement of financing efficiency, which is inconsistent with the previous conclusion that R&D investment always fosters efficient financing (Li et al 2019;Zhang, Xing, and Wang 2020). However, when the SCF is added into the analysis framework as a moderator variable, the inhibitory effect of R&D investment on financing efficiency is effectively alleviated, which provides a new perspective for research in this field.…”

“…According to Li et al (2019), R&D investment can stimulate enterprises to invent core technologies and improve their financing environment to alleviate the problem of financing inefficiency (Zhang, Xing, and Wang 2020). However, the environmental protection industry, which is capitaland technology-intensive, is not conducive for improvement in efficiencies due to high levels of investment in technology R&D with long-term returns (Yiu, Su, and Xu 2013).…”

Effects of Regional Innovation Capability on the Green Technology Efficiency of China’s Manufacturing Industry: Evidence from Listed Companies

“…In terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as pushing for renewable energy, China has begun to develop renewable energy sectors more actively since 2005. This was marked by the issuance of supporting measures and regulations for stimulating renewable energy development [10,11]. Apart from the many factors that motivated the formulation of policies in terms of stimulating these sectors, increases in the budgetary allotment have been extraordinary and have become essential in supporting the effort to save the environment.…”

“…It becomes apparent that the spatial correlation between the developing regional innovation and the efficiency of applied green technology overlaps. Previous studies have discussed enterprise preparedness for green innovation in terms of technological, environmental, organizational, and policy constraints [11,13,14]. However, limited studies have been conducted to reveal the regional innovation related to green technology efficiency and its implementation.…”

Knowledge, Competences and Competitive Advantage of the Green-Technology Companies in Poland

“…Following this framework indicating the importance of time-and context-specific analyses, several contributions have been made by various authors, describing the aspects of knowledge and competences of green companies in the case of the following countries: China [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], Australia [15], Brazil [16], Canada [17], Finland [18], Germany [19,20], India [21,22], Japan [23], Malaysia [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], Pakistan [32][33][34][35][36][37], Romania [38], Slovakia [39], Asian-Pacific area (including Taiwan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, India) [40] and European countries (including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom as one group) [41]. This study attempts to follow this framework and build on the research findings related to the knowledge and competences of companies (from the perspective of resource-based theory) [42][43][44] and knowledge management in organizations [45][46][47] (especially since the survival of companies largely depends on significant investments in knowledge manage...…”
