“…In corporations with high consulting needs, MSII could play a more effective knowledge spillover effect and the green effects may be higher. We calculate the average education level of the corporate management team as a proxy variable for corporate consulting needs (Yuan & Zhou, 2021). The average level of education of the corporate management team reflects the human capital and talent pool of the management team.…”

Green governance in heavily polluting industries is crucial for achieving sustainable economic growth. By analyzing Chinese A‐share listed companies from these industries between of 2010 and 2021, we assess the influence of multiple shareholding institutional investors (MSII) on a company's environmental performance. We find that MSIIs can improve environmental performance, highlighting their positive role in green governance. Further analyses reveal that this green influence stems from three key effects: supervisory oversight by principal shareholders, managerial incentives, and knowledge transfer. Consistent with the risk‐averse hypothesis, our study also suggests that MSIIs could drive the green transformation of heavy‐polluting industries out of risk aversion.

“…We matched the business attractiveness of participants' preferred cities, hometowns, and university cities. We also use the Haversine formula to calculated the distance (Distance ij ) between their destination city (City i ) and their hometown and university cities (City j ) based on each city's latitude and longitude (Sinnott, 1984;Jensen et al, 2015;Yuan and Zhou, 2021). Each city's latitude and longitude were collected from Geo Data Source, 1 and r is equals to 3,963 miles.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…This integration is beneficial for enhancing the park's agricultural science and technology innovation capacity. (5) Geographical distance: Previous studies have highlighted the impact of geographical location on the development of economic entities [50]. Consequently, the geographical distance between NASTPs and the prefecture-level city to which they belong may influence the innovation capacity of enterprises within NASTPs [51].…”

This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and innovation efficiency of national agricultural science and technology parks (NASTPs) and identify the main influencing factors on the parks’ innovation and development. The goal is to optimize the allocation of science and technology innovation resources in these parks, promote national agricultural science and technology innovation, and enhance the quality of agricultural development. To achieve this, the paper employs spatial analysis methods and a three-stage DEA-Tobit model to conduct both macro and micro-level analyses. The research findings are as follows: (1) Distribution characteristics: NASTPs tend to exhibit a uniform distribution at the national scale, but at the provincial level, their distribution appears clustered and uneven. Specifically, three high-density areas and two sub-high-density areas have emerged on the eastern side of the Hu line, displaying a decreasing trend from east to west. (2) Innovation efficiency: By excluding the influence of environmental factors and random interference, the lack of scale efficiency (SE) emerges as the primary reason for the generally low innovation efficiency of NASTPs. (3) Environmental factors: Science and technology training exhibits a negative correlation with innovation efficiency in NASTPs. Leading enterprises, income level, innovation support, and demonstration and promotion show positive correlations with IE in NASTPs. To promote national agricultural science and technology innovation and enhance the quality of agricultural development, it is recommended, based on a central-level development perspective, to focus on the layout of the northeast and northwest regions. At the local level, expanding the scale of key enterprise inputs and increasing the demonstration and promotion of scientific and technological achievements are recommended. Additionally, at the NASTPs level, guiding the construction of a national agricultural high-tech industry demonstration zone is advised.
