The synergistic effect of bank digitalization and enterprise digitalization on enterprise green transformation
Based on the research sample of Chinese A-share listed enterprises from 2010 to 2021,this paper empirically tested the synergistic effect of bank digitalization and enterprise digitalization in promoting the green transformation of enterprises.The study found that both bank digitalization and enterprise digitalization contribute to promoting enterprise green trans-formation,and bank-enterprise digitalization has a synergistic effect on promoting enterprise green transformation.This conclusion is still valid after considering endogeneity problems and a series of robustness tests.The results of mechanism test show that the synergistic effect of bank-enterprise digitization in promoting enterprise green transformation is due to the"informa-tion synergistic effect","credit allocation synergistic effect"and"internal governance synergistic effect".Based on the test of the enterprise characteristics,it is found that the synergistic effect of bank-enterprise digitalization is more effective for non-state-owned enterprises,small-scale en-terprises,heavy polluting enterprises and high-tech enterprises.Based on the test of the external environment of enterprises,it is found that the synergistic effect of bank-enterprise digitaliza-tion is more efffective for regions with stronger environmental regulations and more intense bank competition,as well as for competitive industries.The additional test of the effects of enterprise green transformation found that green transformation promoted the carbon emission reduction without sacrificing the development of enterprises.This study provides some policy implications for giving full play to the synergistic effect of bank digitalization and enterprise digitalization,so as to empower enterprises with green transformation through digitalization.
