Abstract

While previous research on environmental innovation offers insights into environmental innovation quantity incentives, less attention has been paid to environmental innovation quality. The present study fills this gap by investigating how government and shareholders can affect firms’ environmental innovation quantity and quality. We suggest that firms with higher state ownership respond to government mandates with higher environmental innovation quantity and quality. Moreover, firms suffering financial difficulties lead to lower environmental innovation quantity and quality. We further propose that firms facing mandates from both government and shareholders exhibit a decoupling between quantity and quality. A sample of Chinese listed firms from 2008 to 2019 supports our arguments. The research contributes to the environmental innovation and institutional complexity literature by exploring the antecedents of environmental innovation quality and identifying the decoupling between quantity and quality.

制度复杂性下环境创新的质与量选择

以往的环境创新研究对环境创新的数量激励机制有深入的认识，但对环境创新质量的关注较少。本研究通过调查政府和股东如何影响企业环境创新的数量和质量来填补这一空白。研究表明，国有制越高的企业，其环境创新的数量和质量越高。企业财务困难导致环境创新的数量和质量下降。我们进一步提出，面临政府和股东双重授权的企业表现出数量和质量之间的脱钩。2008年至2019年的中国上市公司样本支持我们的观点。本研究通过探索环境创新质量的前因由和确定数量与质量之间的解耦关系，为环境创新和制度复杂性文献做出贡献。
