Abstract

Cultivating enterprise new-quality productivity is essential for advancing high-quality economic development in China. Whether green finance can serve as a key driver of this productivity has attracted growing attention. Using data from Chinese A-share listed firms (2011−2022), this study examines the influence of green finance on enterprise new-quality productivity and its mechanisms, focusing on resource and development (R&D) intensity and environmental awareness. The results show that green finance significantly enhances new-quality productivity. Mechanism analysis reveals that it does so by boosting R&D intensity and strengthening both top management and government environmental attention. Heterogeneity tests indicate stronger effects in eastern regions, state-owned firms, enterprises with higher financing levels, and those under stricter environmental regulations. These findings offer empirical support for expanding green finance, accelerating productivity transformation, and promoting high-quality enterprise development.
