Abstract

This paper explores the impact of green finance on household risk financial asset allocation using data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) conducted by Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in 2019, 2021, and 2023. It analyzes the moderating role of the digital economy and urban-rural heterogeneity. The study finds that green finance significantly enhances household risk financial asset allocation, including the probability of participating in risk financial markets and the diversity of risk assets held. The digital economy plays a positive moderating role in the relationship between green finance and household risk financial assets.
