Abstract

In the context of global economic transformation and the transition toward green development, supply chain finance innovation and carbon trading mechanisms have become important forces driving sustainable corporate growth. As a vital component of the national economy, the transportation industry faces increasing pressure to optimize asset allocation in response to new market and environmental requirements. Using panel data from A-share listed transportation companies in China from 2011 to 2023, this paper empirically examines the effects of supply chain finance innovation, carbon trading mechanisms, and their interaction on firms’ fixed asset allocation. The results show that, first, a higher level of supply chain finance innovation significantly promotes fixed asset allocation in transportation enterprises. Second, the implementation of carbon trading mechanisms also has a significant positive effect on firms’ fixed asset allocation. Third, the interaction between supply chain finance innovation and carbon trading mechanisms generates a positive synergistic effect, further enhancing fixed asset allocation. Fourth, this synergistic effect is heterogeneous across firms of different sizes, with the impact varying according to enterprise scale.
