Green innovation is vital for manufacturing enterprises to achieve a balance between economic, environmental and social benefits. This paper empirically investigates the mechanisms of government subsidies, R&D investment and public participatory environmental regulation on green innovation in manufacturing enterprises, selecting a sample of 1308 manufacturing firms listed on Chinese A-shares from 2010-2019. The results show that government subsidies can significantly promote green innovation in manufacturing enterprises, with private enterprises being more pronounced. R&D investment plays a mediating role in green innovation in manufacturing enterprises, while public participatory environmental regulation has a negative impact. The moderating effect of public participatory environmental regulation on government subsidies is different on different green patents, with a more negative effect on green invention patents than on green utility model patents. Public participatory environmental regulation has a negative moderating effect on the green innovation of state-owned manufacturing enterprises while having no significant effect on private manufacturing enterprises.
绿色创新对于制造企业在经济、环境和社会效益之间实现平衡至关重要。本文实证研究了政府补贴、研发投入和公众参与环境监管对制造企业绿色创新的作用机制,选取了 2010-2019 年中国 A 股上市的 1308 家制造企业作为样本。结果表明,政府补贴能够显著促进制造企业的绿色创新,对民营企业的促进作用更为明显。研发投入在制造企业的绿色创新中起中介作用,而公众参与环境监管则产生负面影响。公众参与环境监管对政府补贴在不同绿色专利上的调节作用不同,对绿色发明专利的负向影响大于绿色实用新型专利。公众参与环境监管对国有制造企业的绿色创新具有负向调节作用,而对私营制造企业则没有显著影响。
