- Abstract
Technological innovation paths have a sustainable impact on the production mode and welfare level of a society, and guiding the economy to shift to green technology paths can help accelerate the realisation of the strategic goal of green transformation. This paper explores how digital transformation affects green innovation based on the perspective of technological innovation path. It is found that digital transformation promotes technological innovation but favours non-green innovation. Compared with green innovation, environmental regulation negatively moderates the effect of digital transformation on non-green innovation more strongly, i.e., a certain intensity of environmental regulation can correct the biased impact of digital transformation, but too high environmental regulation inhibits firms’ green innovation. The industry digital transformation peer effect positively moderates the promotion of green innovation by digital transformation. Further mechanism analysis finds that executive green perceptions play a mediating effect between firms’ digital transformation and green innovation.
