Abstract

Using data from Chinese A-share listed companies spanning 2007 to 2024, this study applies the SBM-Malmquist-Luenberger (SBM-ML) index to measure firms’ green total factor productivity (GTFP). It further adopts a panel double fixed-effects model, supplemented by robustness tests and instrumental variable methods, to systematically investigate the enabling effects of financial technology (fintech) on corporate GTFP and the heterogeneity of these effects. The results indicate that fintech significantly and positively promotes corporate GTFP—a conclusion that remains valid even after addressing endogeneity issues and conducting multiple robustness tests. At the regional level, fintech exerts a significant impact on GTFP in eastern and western China but has no significant effect in central China.
