摘要： 创新对于促进企业减污降碳、实现绿色发展转型的重要性日益凸显。区别于已有研究侧重分析低碳城市试点政策对绿色技术创新的影响,本文利用工业企业数据库和专利数据库的微观数据,探讨低碳城市试点政策对企业策略性创新行为的影响及其作用机制。实证结果显示,低碳城市试点显著促进企业创新,其影响源于诱发企业策略性创新行为,但无法激励企业实质性创新行为。在经过一系列识别检验、稳健性检验、不同的估计方法后,上述结论依然成立。异质性分析发现,低碳城市试点对非国有企业、污染行业企业的策略性创新的影响更为显著。基于传递效应模型的机制分析表明低碳城市试点政策扶持下,企业为寻求政府补贴而进行策略性创新。研究结论对于探索“双碳”引领、创新驱动的发展之路具有一定的参考价值。

Abstract: The importance of innovation in promoting firm pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and achieving green development transformation is increasingly prominent. Unlike previous studies that focus on analyzing the impact of low-carbon city pilot policies on green technology innovation, this paper employs the difference-in-difference econometric model to empirically analyze the impact of low-carbon city pilot policy on firm innovation behavior and its mechanism by using the micro-data of industrial enterprise database and patent application database from 2006 to 2013. Regression results show that the implementation of low-carbon city pilot policy significantly improves firm strategic innovation but has no significant impact on substantial innovation. After a series of identification tests, robustness checks, and different estimation methods, the above conclusion still holds. Heterogeneity analyses show that the implementation of low-carbon city pilot policy has a more significant impact on the strategic innovation of non-SOEs and firms in polluting industries. The mechanism analyses based on the transmission effect model indicate that under the support of low-carbon city pilot policy, firms engage in strategic innovation to seek government subsidies. The research findings have certain reference value for exploring the development path led by "dual carbon" and driven by innovation.

Key words: low-carbon city pilot policy, substantial innovation, strategic innovation, government subsidy, environmental regulation
