According to the data from commercial banks and Chinese A-shares listed companies from 2012 to 2022, it uses theoretical analysis and a two-way fixed effect model to systematically analyze the impact and mechanism of banking fintech on the green investment efficiency of enterprises. It finds that banking fintech can significantly improve the efficiency of corporate green investment, and this result is still valid after conducting various robustness tests and endogenous treatments.
