Abstract
This study is based on relevant data from publicly listed companies in China between 2011 and 2023, exploring through empirical analysis the specific effects of tax incentive policies and market competition on corporate innovation levels. The analysis results indicate that both tax incentive policies and market competition can significantly enhance corporate innovation levels; at the same time, market competition plays a significant moderating role between tax incentive policies and corporate innovation levels. Furthermore, compared to state-owned enterprises, the facilitative effect of tax incentive policies on the innovation levels of private enterprises is particularly prominent.
