摘要

本研究以2016年中国批准《巴黎协定》为准自然实验，考察环境监管对上市公司绿色创新的影响，特别关注城市收缩的作用。结果表明，环境规制通过加大对环境保护的处罚力度和支持力度，促进了企业绿色创新。然而，在萎缩的城市中，由于绿色投资减少和高科技人才增长放缓，这种积极影响减弱甚至变为负面影响。此外，异质性分析表明，这种影响的严重程度在较小的城市和经济发展水平较低的城市更为明显。本研究结果对政策制定者和企业管理者具有重要的启示意义。

Green shrinkage: The heterogeneous regional effects of environmental regulation on green innovation

This study utilizes China's ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2016 as a quasi-natural experiment to examine the effects of environmental regulation on green innovation within listed companies, particularly focusing on the role of urban shrinkage. Results show that environmental regulation boosts corporate green innovation through stricter penalties and increased support for environmental protection. However, in shrinking cities, this positive influence is weakened or even turns negative, due to decreased green investment and slower growth of high-tech talent. In addition, heterogeneity analysis indicates that the severity of this impact is more pronounced in smaller cities and those with lower levels of economic development. The findings of this study have significant implications for policymakers and business managers.
