Abstract
We verified the effect of patent insurance policy implementation on corporate green transformation, using a dataset of Chinese-listed companies from 2007 to 2019. Using double/debiased machine learning and text analysis, we found that the pilot policy of patent insurance has a significant positive impact on the green transformation of enterprises. This effect is significant in heavily polluting industries, eastern regions, state-owned enterprises, and companies in a growth stage. The patent insurance pilot policy promotes corporate green transformation by alleviating financing constraints, reducing operational risks, and increasing green output.
期刊介绍:
Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
