Abstract

Drawing on the industry categorization provided by the China Securities Regulatory Commission(CSRC) for the year 2012, we select listed firms from five sub-sectors within the manufacturing industry between 2012 and 2017. The study introduces economic policy uncertainty as a moderating variable, and identifies two forms of agency costs as mediating factors to delineate the mechanisms through which financial-industrial integration influences corporate green technological innovation. The findings suggest that financial-industrial integration is inversely associated with corporate green technological innovation. Additionally, the study reveals a positive moderating function of economic policy uncertainty in this relationship. Mechanism examination indicates the absence of a mediating role for the first type of agency cost, while the second type exhibits a partial mediating effect. This study expands the exploration of the interplay between industry and finance and corporate green technological innovation, aiming to bolster corporate innovation in eco-friendly technologies and to inform governmental economic policy-making.
