摘要：
China's economy is faced with mounting pressure to reduce CO2 emissions. This study estimates the impact of green innovation and institutional quality on CO2 emissions, and examines the moderating effect of institutional quality. The results show that: (1) Green innovation significantly reduced CO2 emissions. Institutional quality has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between green innovation and CO2 emissions, such that when institutional quality is high, green innovation has a stronger reduction in CO2 emissions. (2) Green innovation significantly reduced CO2 emissions in the eastern and western regions. Moreover, as institutional quality improves, the reduction of CO2 emissions through green innovation increased in the western region. (3) Green innovation in 2013-2017 had a greater effect on CO2 emissions reduction than 2005-2012. Moreover, with the improvement of institutional quality, green innovation's reduction of CO2 emissions in 2005-2012 was weakened, whereas the reduction of CO2 emissions by green innovation increased in 2013-2017.

摘要：
Green innovation is a key aspect for organizations to realize sustainable development strategy in emerging markets. Based on the stakeholder theory, resource-based view, and dynamic capabilities theory, this study introduces corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green dynamic capability to investigate the mechanisms driving corporate green innovation. The green innovation is classified into two different aspects such as green product innovation and green process innovation. By surveying 424 manufacturing companies in China and analyzing with linear regression, we find that: (1) CSR practice significantly promotes green product innovation and green process innovation. (2) Green dynamic capability significantly promotes green product innovation and green process innovation. (3) Green dynamic capability function as a mediator between CSR and green innovation. Based on dynamic capabilities, this study reveals the impact mechanism of CSR on green innovation, expands the dynamic capabilities theory, and provides new guidance to improve green innovation for Chinese manufacturing companies.
