Abstract
This paper explores the impact of capital market openness on
corporate green technology innovation using the Difference in
Differences model (DID) and a quasi-natural experiment with the
Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Exchange using A-share listed corporations
data from 2011 to 2020. The findings indicate that capital
market openness has a significant promotion effect on corporate
green technology innovation. This effect is consistent using
Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Differences model (PSMDID),
counterfactual and placebo tests. Moreover, capital market
openness can indirectly stimulate corporate green technology
innovation by increasing corporate R&D investment and improving
corporate management. Notably, the promotion effect of capital
market openness on green technology innovation of SOEs
and small-scale corporations is stronger.
