“…In the view of system driven, the most typical is the proposal of the “Porter Hypothesis” [ 24 ]. The “Porter Hypothesis” puts forward that environmental regulation is a vital innovation-driving factor, and reasonable environmental regulation will promote innovation to improve enterprise profitability [ 25 , 64 ]. A large number of studies have been carried out by many scholars to verify this view.…”

With the development of blockchain, big data, cloud computing and other new technologies, how to achieve innovative development and green sustainable development in digital transformation has become one of the key issues for enterprises to obtain and maintain core competitiveness. However, little of the literature has paid attention to the impact of digital transformation on enterprise green innovation. Using the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of enterprise digital transformation on green innovation and its transmission mechanism, by constructing double fixed-effect models. The results show that digital transformation has remarkably promoted the green innovation of enterprises. R&D investment, government subsidies, and income tax burden have played a conductive role between digital transformation and enterprise green innovation. Furthermore, digital transformation can significantly promote the high-quality green innovation of enterprises and also plays a more significant role in promoting the green innovation of high-tech enterprises and state-owned enterprises. A robustness test is carried out by using the lag data and changing the measurement methods of the dependent variable and independent variables, and the research conclusions are still valid. Based on resource-based theory and dynamic capability theory, this paper reveals the impact path of digital transformation on enterprise green innovation, further expanding the research field of digital transformation and enriching the research on the influencing factors of enterprise green innovation. This paper provides policy suggestions for the government to improve the enterprise green innovation level by increasing government subsidies and providing tax incentives and also provides reference for digital transformation enterprises to accelerate green innovation by increasing R&D investment, obtaining government subsidies, and acquiring tax policy support.

Since China entered the stage of high-quality development, how to promote economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment in a coordinated manner and implement the new development concept of “innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing” is the country’s problem need to break through. Based on the connotation of the evolutionary logic of environmental regulation, this paper attempts to build a more scientific indicator of China’s environmental regulation and discusses the environmental regulation motivation of China’s OFDI from the home country’s perspective. The results show that the impact of environmental regulation on China’s OFDI presents a significant inverted U-shaped relationship, and there are significant regional differences. The types of environmental regulation have different impacts on OFDI. Porter’s hypothesis exists in the influence path of environmental regulation on OFDI. The research in this paper can help coordinate the development of high-quality economic development, environmental protection, and the new pattern of wide opening up in China.

“…Formal Environmental Regulation (FER): In this paper, FER was defined as the degree of government intervention in environmental pollution, which was measured by the discharge of major pollutants corresponding to a unit industrial output value. In order to avoid the bias of results caused by a single index, the comprehensive index of FER was constructed by selecting industrial waste water emissions, industrial sulfur dioxide emissions and industrial smoke emissions corresponding to the unit industrial output value, combined with the availability of data [ 48 , 49 ]. The data are taken from the China Urban Statistical Yearbook.…”

Promoting green technology innovation (GTI) through environmental regulation is a key measure in reducing the severity of environmental problems. However, the effects of formal environmental regulation (FER) and informal environmental regulation (IER) on GTI have not been clarified. Through theoretical analysis, this paper analyzes the effects of FER and IER on GTI based on OLS and GTWR models. The results show the following: (1) In all Chinese cities, both FER and IER have had a positive impact on GTI. The impact of FER has been much stronger than that of IER. They show a linkage effect, and their interaction (TER) has had a positive impact on GTI. (2) In terms of spatial heterogeneity, the impact of FER, IER, and TER on GTI has decreased across the east–west gradient and has been supplemented by a core–periphery structure. (3) In terms of urban heterogeneity, the impact of FER, IER, and TER has decreased with the size of the city. This study has the potential to strengthen the effect of environmental regulation on GTI. It can provide a decision-making reference for cities to coordinate FER and IER strategies, and provides evidence for adopting regionally differentiated environmental regulation strategies.
