摘要: 本文基于2008—2022年沪深A股上市公司样本,以2015年新《预算法》的实施为准自然实验,构建双重差分模型,深入探究地方政府债务治理对企业绿色创新的影响。研究表明,地方政府债务治理能够显著提升企业绿色创新水平,且该结论在一系列稳健性检验后依然成立。中介机制分析揭示,地方政府债务治理主要通过融资约束缓释效应和研发要素流动效应两条路径激励企业绿色创新。调节效应检验发现,政府环境规制和企业高管绿色环保意识加强了这种激励作用。异质性分析表明,在非国有企业、信贷资源市场化分配程度低地区、非重污染行业和现金流紧张的企业,地方政府债务治理对企业绿色创新的激励效应更为显著。进一步研究发现,地方政府债务治理能够提升企业实质性绿色创新,且能显著降低企业的碳排放强度。本文的研究对于防范化解地方债务风险、驱动企业绿色转型及实现经济社会可持续发展具有重要启示意义。

Abstract: Based on the samples of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2022 and the implementation of the new Budget Law in 2015 as a natural experiment, this paper constructs a Difference-in-Difference Model to deeply explore the impact of local government debt governance on enterprise green innovation. Research shows that local government debt governance can significantly improve the level of green innovation of enterprises, and this conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests. The analysis of the intermediary mechanism reveals that local government debt governance mainly stimulates green innovation through two paths: the mitigation effect of financing constraints and the flow effect of R&D factors. The regulatory effect test found that government environmental regulation and corporate executives' green awareness strengthened the incentive effect. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the above effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises, regions with low market allocation of credit resources, non-heavily polluting industries and enterprises with tight cash flow. Further research shows that local government debt governance can improve the substantive green innovation of enterprises, and it can significantly reduce the carbon emission intensity of enterprises. The research of this paper has important implications for preventing and resolving local debt risks, driving green transformation of enterprises and realizing sustainable economic and social development.

Key words: Local Government Debt Governance, Enterprise Green Innovation, Implementation of the New Budget Law, Government Environmental Regulation, Executive's Environmental Awareness
