摘要

绿色信贷政策（GCP）是政府通过金融支持促进绿色发展的重要实践。本研究采用差分法，利用中国 A 股上市公司 2007 年至 2022 年的数据，研究 GCP 对企业数字化转型（DT）的影响。结果表明，政府实施 GCP 后，企业数字化转型受到明显抑制。这种抑制作用主要是通过减少技术创新、增加环保投入和强化融资约束产生的。本研究还发现，增加政府在数字基础设施方面的投资、提高市场化程度以及增强高管的研发背景，都有可能降低 GCP 对 DT 的负面影响。我们的研究结果有助于更好地应对气候挑战，并为加速发展贸易提供了有价值的参考。

New industrial policy and corporate digital transformation: Empowering or impairing? Emerging evidence from green credit policy

The Green Credit Policy (GCP) is a vital governmental practice promoting green development through financial support. This study employs a Difference-in-Differences method to investigate the impact of GCP on the digital transformation of firms (DT) using data from Chinese A-share listed companies spanning 2007 to 2022. Results reveal that the DT is significantly inhibited after the government implements GCP. This inhibitory effect is mainly produced by reducing technological innovation, increasing environmental protection investment, and strengthening financing constraints. This study also identifies that increased government investment in digital infrastructure, increased marketization, and enhanced R&D backgrounds of executives can potentially diminish the negative impact of GCP on DT. Our findings contribute to a better response to the climate challenge and provide valuable references for accelerating DT.
