Abstract

In an era marked by the convergence of ecological civilization and digital economic expansion, this study examines the interplay between regional environmental courts (EC), financial technology (FT) advancements, and business environment optimization. Using data from 285 Chinese cities spanning 2017–2022, the analysis reveals that the establishment of regional EC positively contributes to improving the business environment. Moreover, the development of FT significantly amplifies this positive impact. An examination of the underlying mechanisms indicates that although the initial implementation of EC may intensify corporate financing constraints, advancements in FT effectively mitigate this challenge.
