Abstract:Promoting the integration of informatization and industrialization is an important way to accelerate the upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry and the development of green manufacturing. According to resource-based and knowledge integration theory, this study constructs data from Chinese manufacturing enterprises during 2010 to 2019, adopting the panel data Tobit model to explore the influence of information construction on green technology innovation and its heterogeneity. The empirical results demonstrate that: (1) Information construction can promote green technology innovation in manufacturing enterprises. The promoting effect of software construction on green technology innovation of manufacturing enterprises is stronger than that of hardware construction, and software construction and hardware construction complement each other. (2) The promoting effect of information construction on green technology innovation of state-owned enterprises is more significant. (3) There is a threshold for the moderating effect of environmental regulation. The information construction of manufacturing enterprises in areas with strong environmental regulation is more conducive to promoting green technology innovation. After a series of robustness tests and endogenous discussion, the above conclusions are still valid.
