Abstract

Green innovation is essential for realizing environmental sustainability and achieving long-term ecological balance. This paper investigates the influence of supply chain digitalization on firms' green innovation in the manufacturing industry. China's 2018 Supply Chain Innovation and Application Pilot program as a quasi-natural experiment, we employ a difference-in-differences (DID) estimation approach to reach the following findings: (1) supply chain digitalization significantly enhances the quantity and quality of enterprise green innovation, with a more substantial impact on quality. (2) supply chain financing capacity and firm environmental awareness play a partial mediating role in the relationship supply chain digitalization and the quality and quantity of corporate green innovation. (3) the heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of supply chain digitalization on green innovation is notably heightened in firms with managers who have overseas experience, weak internal controls, and poor regional supply chain environments. This study enriches the theoretical understanding of enterprise green innovation from the perspective of supply chain digitalization, providing a theoretical basis and practical insights for green innovation practices in enterprises.

供应链数字化与企业的绿色创新：试点项目的证据

绿色创新是实现环境可持续发展和长期生态平衡的关键。本文研究供应链数字化对制造业企业绿色创新的影响。以2018年中国供应链创新与应用试点项目为准自然实验，采用差分估计（DID）方法得出以下结论：（1）供应链数字化显著提升了企业绿色创新的数量和质量，其中对质量的影响更为显著。(2）供应链融资能力和企业环境意识在供应链数字化与企业绿色创新质量和数量的关系中起部分中介作用。(3）异质性分析表明，供应链数字化对绿色创新的影响在管理者具有海外经验、内部控制薄弱、区域供应链环境较差的企业中明显增强。本研究从供应链数字化的角度丰富了对企业绿色创新的理论认识，为企业的绿色创新实践提供了理论依据和实践启示。
