Abstract

The existence of multiple large shareholders affects the innovative behavior of firms, and green technology innovation has higher risk compared with general innovation. Using a sample of Chinese listed companies from 2006 to 2021, we empirically examine the impact of multiple major shareholders' co-existence on corporate green technology innovation. It is found that the coexistence of multiple major shareholders is positively related to corporate green technology innovation. Through the mechanism test, it is found that the majority shareholders promote green technology innovation by alleviating the degree of corporate financing constraints and management's shortsightedness. Therefore, actively utilizing the resource effect and monitoring effect of multiple major shareholders can accelerate the green transformation and sustainable development of enterprises.
