摘要
This paper uses 2016-2022 data for China's A -share listed companies to explore the effects of reduced shareholdings by executives (RSE) on corporate green innovation (CGI). RSE behavior and CGI are found to be significantly negatively correlated. Further, greater internal control and higher agency costs for listed companies reduce the inhibition of CGI resulting from RSE.
