This study examines the impact of green bond issuance (GBI) on GI performance using Chinese listed firms' data from 2007 to 2019. The results show that GBI can promote the GI for both bond issuing firms and their industrial peers, with the impact generated on the former to be more significant. Compared with their peers, the issuing firms tend to focus more on green innovation quality, while the peers are more likely to achieve green innovation increment. Also, the heterogeneity analysis shows that external supervision is important to effectively trigger GI incentives of GBI. The relationship between GBI and GI is more prominent among the state-owned enterprise (SOE), non-heavily polluting firms, and in the eastern region. Furthermore, GBI promotes the GI performance of both issuing and peer firms through different channels. It provides the issuing firms with more R&amp;D investment while enhances the capital utilisation efficiency among peers. Consequently, it is suggested that effective polies should be set in place to ensure that the desired positive outcomes of GBI are achieved, and firms are guided towards more sustained development path.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102706"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These effects are more pronounced in supplier firms with higher levels of innovation, a greater reliance on skilled labor, and customers who have more bargaining power.

This policy is designed to prevent selective enforcement by randomly selecting the inspected firms and the inspectors. Our findings indicate that inspected firms significantly improve their disclosure quality by adopting a more conservative tone in subsequent years. Cross-sectional tests reveal a more significant effect among state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and firms with stronger social connections, lower media coverage, and higher litigation risk, which can be attributed to the random inspections reducing regulatory capture, narrowing the information gap, and increasing firms' exposure to regulatory oversight and market participants. However, the influence of these inspections is moderated by market incentives of corporate managers, as proxied by financing demands and insider trading incentives. In addition, a plausible mechanism for this improvement in corporate disclosure quality is the intensified monitoring by external auditors following random inspections. Further evidence indicates a reduction in firms' crash risk due to enhanced disclosure quality after random inspections. Finally, we observe that CSRC random inspections also improve the disclosure quality of non-inspected firms within the same industry, thereby creating a spillover effect. These findings suggest that public enforcement has a significant regulatory impact in financial markets where investor protection is weak through enhancing regulatory transparency and curbing regulatory discretion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102701"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
