Research on the Relationship Between Carbon Emission Trading and Corporate Green Innovation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Against the backdrop of accelerated global climate governance and the deepening of the "dual carbon" goals, the carbon emissions trading system (ETS) has become a core policy tool for coordinating the contradiction between economic growth and carbon emission reduction. However, there is no systematic consensus on the driving path of ETS on corporate green innovation and its heterogeneous impact. Especially under the dual challenges of the institutional environment of emerging economies and the reconstruction of the global value chain, theoretical deepening and policy innovation are urgently needed. This paper uses a mixed research method to systematically explore the mechanism and boundary conditions of ETS on corporate green innovation, covering the development process of carbon emissions trading policies and the trend of corporate green technology innovation. It deeply analyzes the impact, mechanism, and heterogeneous impact of carbon emissions trading on corporate green innovation, aiming to optimize the operating mechanism of the carbon emissions trading market, thereby promoting the green transformation and sustainable development of enterprises, and providing a policy framework that is both efficient and fair for the construction of carbon markets in emerging economies. At the same time, it fills the gap in the existing literature on the dynamic interaction mechanism of "institution-market-enterprise".
