“…Contrary to the view of the "green paradox," some scholars agree with the opinion of the "emission reduction effect" and believe that ER helps to reduce carbon emissions (Van der Ploeg and Withagen 2012; Pei et al 2019;Cairns 2014;Han 2020) and the improvement of environmental regulatory quality is conducive to carbon emission reduction (Acheampong et al 2019). At the same time, due to the differences in regulatory efficiency, regulatory costs, corporate preferences, government regulatory preferences, regulatory penalties, the scope of application, and other aspects of environmental regulation, the emission reduction effect of environmental regulation has obvious heterogeneity (Ribeiro and Kruglianskas 2015).…”

Environmental regulation is a crucial way to achieve manufacturing green transformation. However, few studies have explored the spatial spillover effects and regional boundaries of environmental regulation on manufacturing carbon emissions from the perspective of local government competition. Based on the manufacturing panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2007 to 2019, this paper uses the spatial Durbin model to examine the impact mechanisms, spatial spillover effects, regional boundaries and industry heterogeneity of environmental regulation, and local government competition on manufacturing carbon emissions. The results show that (1) environmental regulation suppresses local manufacturing carbon emissions, local government competition increases local manufacturing carbon emissions, but the interaction indicates that local governments tend to top-to-top competition under the constraints of environmental regulation. (2) The spatial spillover effect of environmental regulation has regional boundaries. The regional boundary with a positive spillover effect is 600 km, and the regional boundary with a negative spillover effect is 1600 km. (3) Environmental regulation and local government competition have spatial heterogeneity in the carbon reduction effects of seven-type manufacturing industries. These findings suggest concrete evidence for developing policies for further encouraging green development in manufacturing.

“…One possible reason for this is that even with industrial agglomeration, the level of independent R&D and technological innovation remains low (Ya and Meng 2019). Advanced, high-end, low-carbon technologies are mainly obtained through imports, and the current industrial clusters cannot achieve technological innovation and technological diffusion (Han 2020). Technology agglomeration is mainly manifested as a cost effect, and it is difficult to compensate for the innovation effect.…”

How does the agglomeration economy affect carbon emissions? Does it hinder China's zero-carbon emissions and carbon neutral goals? This study explored the impact of industrial agglomeration on carbon emissions and spatial spillover effects by expanding the output density theoretical model of Ciccone & Hall. The main findings are as follows: (1) Industrial labor and technology agglomerations increase regional carbon emissions, while industrial output agglomeration reduces emissions in the immediate term. Industrial capital agglomeration has no significant immediate effect on carbon emission. (2) Industrial output and technology agglomerations have significant lag effects. Output agglomeration increases carbon emissions, while technology agglomeration reduces emission levels. (3) The impact of industrial output agglomeration on regional carbon emissions shifts from a positive inhibitory effect into a negative aggravating effect. In comparison, industrial technology agglomeration transitions from increasing carbon emissions in the immediate term into having a suppressing effect in the long term. (4) There are significant regional differences in the impact of industrial output and capital agglomerations, while industrial labor and technology agglomerations showed no significant regional difference. The results are important in developing policies and strategies of the economy and the environment.

“…At the same time, the increase of green investments can indirectly lead to the development of the environmental protection-related industry and the creation of environmental protection funds [20,21]. Green investment and environmental practices play a key role in many areas, so firms need to respond to the growing concerns and challenges of stakeholders [22].…”

“…Public financial investments (PFIs) can use both traditional and innovative approaches to link green projects with finance by enhancing their access to capital, facilitating risk reduction and sharing, improving the capacity of market actors, and shaping broader market practices and conditions. Taghizadeh-Hesary and Yoshino (2020) [9]; Han (2020) [21]; Du et al (2019) [18]; Falcone (2018) [5] The duration of the firm-bank relationship is associated with a higher probability of a firm's green investment strategies. Conversely, the presence of a multiple credit relationship could concretely hinder a firm's investments towards environmental innovations.…”

“…Environmentally-friendly technologies significantly reduce pollution ( CO2 emissions and fuel consumption), the abatement cost being under environmental regulations. The negative impact on the environment has influenced companies to implement innovative green ideas in order to reduce pollution.Han (2020)[21];Mielke (2019) [85]; Du et al (2019) [18]; Deng et al (2019) [87]; Segura et al (2018) [97]; Lozano and Reid (2018) [90]; Hoppmann, Sakhel, and Richert (2018) [31]; Nassani et al (2017) [99]; Yadav, Han, and Rho (2015) [69] Elheddad et al (2020)[71]; Liao and Shi (Roc) (2018)[33]…”

The Drivers of Green Investment: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Considering the growing of high alarm signals on environmental issues, the implementation of green, sustainable, responsible investments has become a priority for each organization, in addition to maximizing profits and harmonious development with the environment. The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of implementing green investments within organizations and to identify the drivers that influence decisions for the implementation of green investments. In order to achieve this, two types of analyses were used: bibliometric analysis and systematic analysis, researching the representative studies in the field. The search was carried out for the period 1990–2020, and the analyzed sample comprised 444 articles. Following the application of the two methods of analysis, the results show that in the last 6 years the interest of companies in green investments has increased significantly, organizations being concerned with the efficient use of resources and environmental issues. This research highlights the internal and external drivers over which companies have a higher or lower control, as the case may be, in order to involve in green investments. The article offers new pathways for future research on this matter. Therefore, future research may develop a detailed description of the identified drivers for green investment. In addition, further research can calculate the level of the drivers’ impact on green investment and can identify that certain drivers should be more attentively treated. Moreover, subsequent works in this field can continue to identify new drivers or new ways of promoting the already identified drivers in the present research. Consequently, green investment could produce positive effects related to the reduction of pollution and global warming.
