Abstract

We investigate the impact of three subdivision indicators of inclusive digital finance (coverage, usage, and digitization) on corporate green innovation. Using the data of A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2020.We present evidence that: 1) the development of inclusive digital finance can significantly enhance the level of corporate green technology innovation. 2) financing constraints play a partial mediating effect in the process of inclusive digital finance to enhance the level of corporate green technology innovation. 3) internal control plays a part in mediating the process of inclusive digital finance to enhance the level of green technology innovation of enterprises.
