Abstract

This study selects A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2009 to 2022 as research subjects to explore the impact mechanisms and pathways through which green finance development affects corporate economic resilience. The findings reveal that green finance development effectively enhances corporate economic resilience by promoting technological innovation, increasing media attention, and improving internal control quality, thereby strengthening firms' growth capacity and recovery ability. This enables enterprises to better recover and grow when facing external shocks. To achieve sustainable corporate development, the government should intensify policy support for green finance, enhance corporate media visibility to facilitate social supervision, relax constraints on technological investment, and ensure that environmental regulations more fully consider enterprises' actual conditions to optimize the policy environment.
