The Shanghai Commercial Paper Exchange (SHCPE) provides a platform for enterprises to utilize commercial papers in supporting green innovation. Using a sample of manufacturing companies listed on China’s A-share market, this study demonstrates that the establishment of SHCPE enhances corporate green innovation, whether segmented by patent type or knowledge dimension. The underlying mechanisms include mitigating financing constraints, enhancing environmental information transparency, and increasing R&D investment. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that SHCPE significantly affects firms that are state-owned, subject to high environmental and market pressure, and located in financially underdeveloped regions. This study provides empirical evidence and policy insights for developing countries seeking to enhance commercial paper market infrastructure and promote sustainable development.

Rural e-commerce provided a core driving force for rural industrial upgrading and rural innovation and entrepreneurship development. This study uses the two-way fixed effect model with the panel data of 26 provinces in China from 2014 to 2022 to examine the relationship of rural e-commerce and innovation and entrepreneurship. Results show that: (1) Rural e-commerce has a positive effect on rural innovation and entrepreneurship, and the conclusion is robust; (2) Rural e-commerce positively promotes rural innovation and entrepreneurship through capital-sinking effect and resource-integrated effect; (3) According to regional characteristics, the rural e-commerce boosts the innovation and entrepreneurship in different ways. The following suggestions are put forward: (1) Optimize the top-level design layout and continuously release the potential of rural e-commerce; (2) Increase the inclusiveness of digital finance and extend the agro-industry chain to attract innovative and entrepreneurial talents; (3) Increase R&D funding to stimulate entrepreneurial activity in rural areas; (4) Strengthen basic social security and employment support.
