Each province has a distinct enforcement effect (Yao & Rao, 2009). In provinces with strong IPR protection, corporations are more likely to invest in digitalization for green innovation because of the reduced risk of imitation and higher chance of receiving a return.…”

We investigate the effect of corporate digitalization capabilities on green innovation among Chinese‐listed firms. Using a panel dataset of 2908 companies from 2011 to 2020, we use textual analysis and entropy weighting on corporate annual reports to construct a yearly corporate digitalization index. Our findings show that corporate digitalization promotes green innovation, as evidenced by patent applications and grants. This relationship is stronger for firms with fewer financial constraints and in provinces with strong intellectual property protection. We also find the national digital policy of the “Internet Plus” strategy has a stronger positive effect on corporate green innovation for corporations with a higher degree of digitalization. Our results are robust to various alternative measures, econometric models, and different samples.
