“…(2) Drawing on the research by Zhou et al (2020), we utilize the share of total output value contributed by heavypolluting industries as a proxy for the inverse measurement of GISU. Due to the lack of data on the output value of various industries at the city level, we adopt a similar approach to existing research (Yin et al 2023) by aggregating enterprise-level data to obtain city-level data. The outcomes can be found in column (2) of appendix B.…”

Renewable energy technology innovation (RETI) and green industrial structure upgrading (GISU) are crucial pathways for China’s pursuit of sustainable development. Despite the existing research separately emphasizing the importance of RETI and GISU, there are limited investigations into the role of RETI in facilitating the process of GISU, especially in terms of empirical evidence at the urban level. This study utilizes data from 284 cities in China from 2006 to 2020 to investigate the impact of RETI on GISU. Our research findings reveal a positive association between RETI and GISU. Specifically, increasing 1 unit of RETI can promote GISU by 0.19 units. Moreover, we identify that environmental regulations, green finance, and human capital strengthen RETI’s stimulating effect on GISU. Notably, the study highlights that the positive influence of RETI on GISU is especially prominent in economically developed cities with a conducive innovation environment and those facing severe pollution challenges.

“…Many studies have studied how green funding affects green innovation and if it promotes sustainable technology. They've studied green bonds, green banking, and green finance reform laws, offering empirical evidence that financial incentives combined with green practices can stimulate environmental innovation [16,41,44,47,52,64,70,81,87,107,133,152,162].…”

“…Researchers have studied how these restrictions affect green finance's impact on technology. Studying how financial policies and regulatory frameworks interact has helped explain the complex dynamics affecting innovation in environmentally sensitive industries [11,29,54,84,120,126,132,151,152,174].…”

There is a need for an extensive understanding of the emerging themes and trends within the domain of green finance, which is still evolving. By conducting a systematic literature review on green finance, the purpose of this study is to identify the emerging themes that have garnered significant attention over the past 12 years. In order to identify the emerging themes in green finance, bibliometric analysis was performed on 978 publications that were published between 2011 and 2023 and were taken from the databases of Scopus and Web of Science. The author examined annual scientific production, journal distribution, countries scientific production, most relevant authors, most frequent words, areas where empirical research is lacking, words' frequency over time, trend topics, and themes of green finance. The outcome of the review identified the following seven themes: (i) green finance and environmental sustainability; (ii) green finance and investments; (iii) green finance and innovation; (iv) green finance policy/green credit guidelines; (v) green finance and economy; (vi) green finance and corporate social responsibility; (vii)trends/challenges/barriers/awareness of green finance. The analysis of these emerging themes will contribute to the existing corpus of knowledge and provide valuable insights into the landscape of green finance as it evolves.

“…The inconsistency of findings suggests that there are other factors that influence the environmental regulation-green technology innovation process. Although studies have explored the moderating role of possible influencing factors such as the aspects of financial [23,24] and industrial agglomeration [25,26], relatively little exploration of mediating factors has been conducted. The transmission path from environmental regulation to green technology innovation is worth exploring.…”

Green technology innovation of heavily polluting enterprises is a critical way to alleviate environmental pressure and promote sustainable development. However, the ways in which the interaction of influencing factors affects heavily polluting enterprises in green technology innovation in China have not been fully addressed and need to be investigated in this field. This paper explored the impact of government environmental regulation, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and public attention on promoting green technology innovation of heavily polluting enterprises based on S-O-R (stimulus–organism–response) and stakeholder theories. The panel data of A-share listed companies in China’s heavily polluting industries from 2008 to 2020 was used to investigate their interactions by adopting POLS (Pooled Ordinary Least Square) method. The main results show that (1) environmental regulation has a significant positive effect on green technology innovation; it especially has a great impact on state-owned heavily polluting enterprises; (2) CSR plays a mediating role between environmental regulation and green technology innovation; (3) public attention has a moderating effect between CSR and green technology innovation and also moderates the indirect effect of environmental regulation on green technology innovation through CSR. The results illustrate that green technology innovation should be not only guided by governmental regulation, but also supplemented by enterprises’ internal driven force and public supervision, which can give implications for promoting the development of green technology innovation and optimizing environmental policy tools.
