Abstract
Green credit, as a component of green finance, plays a major role in promoting industrial structure upgrading. However, most of the existing research have analyzed the influence mechanism between the two, and there is lack of a systematic analysis on whether there is regional difference in the upgrading of industrial structure among regions. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces from 2002 to 2019, this paper compares and analyzes the effects of green credit on the industrial structure in the eastern, central and western regions of China through a fixed effect model. After the overall regression, it is found that green credit has a positive influence on the upgrade of China’s industrial structure. Through the regional regression, we come to conclusion that the implementation of green credit policy has a positive impact on the industrial structure upgrading in the east and central regions, but has no significant impact on the western regions.
