Taking China's A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2021 as empirical research samples,this paper explores the impact of economic policy uncertainty on corporate green innovation,and analyzes the moderating effect of ESG rating.The results show that economic policy uncertainty will promote corporate green innovation,and the impact on strategic green innovation is significantly stronger than substantive green innovation.The moderating effect results show that ESG rating can strengthen the green innovation orientation of enterprises and produce a significant positive moderating effect between economic policy uncertainty and green innovation.From the property right nature and industry type,in state-owned enterprises and heavily polluting industries,economic policy uncertainty has a more significant incentive effect on green innovation.
