Innovation is one of the primary approaches by which companies address the progressively severe social, environmental, and market pressures that they face, and it is a crucial route for companies to maintain sustainable development. Venture capital (VC) plays a significant role in promoting enterprise innovation, especially breakthrough innovation. Venture capital can increase executive compensation and corporate innovation. Previous studies have also indicated that compensation incentives can be beneficial to corporate innovation. Although the relationships between two of these three variables have been validated, the relationship between VC, executive compensation, and corporate innovation has not yet received ample consideration. Our research focuses on the connections among these three variables, and we chose corporate for our sample, which listed corporations on the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges in the period from 2009 to 2017. We found that VC has a mediating effect on innovation through executive compensation incentives, although not necessarily a full mediation effect—merely a partial one. Moreover, we found that VC primarily plays the role of a compensation incentive by amplifying the internal salary gap of corporate. By employing invention patents to replace explanatory variables, using a Heckman two-stage method, and utilizing propensity score matching (PSM) for robustness testing, the validity of the conclusion was confirmed. In addition, we discovered that experienced VC or companies with lower governance quality are more likely to use compensation incentives to promote corporate innovation. This study provides valuable insight for VC in cultivating corporate innovation, as well as for corporates looking to boost their innovation. Full article

Making the financial industry a solider mainstay of the real economy is of great concern for China in the midst of economic reform. For China, leveraging venture capital (VC) to enhance a firm’s technological innovation capability (TIC) is an important means of actualising its innovation and development strategy, as well as a must-do to realise sustainable development. In this study, firms that went public from 2010 to 2020 on the A-stock market were used as samples to study the effects of VC on TIC and the relevant mechanism based on the difference-in-differences (DID) method. As research findings show, VC can improve TIC through the medium of the internal incentive and external constraint easing effects. The contributory role of VC in TIC varies with firm size, ownership, and industry type. A range of robustness tests, including the PSM, variable substitution, and instrumental variable methods, further strengthened the reliability of the conclusions. This study can enlighten policymakers on how to implement comprehensive resource factor market reform to build a favourable innovation environment that materialises the role of marketisation.

In the context of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals and the opening of a capital market in China, an emerging country, the relationship between an ESG rating and northbound capital shareholding preferences (NCSP) is a topic worthy of discussion. In this research, we selected CSI 300-listed companies from 2015 to 2020 as the research object and examined the influence and mechanism of the ESG rating on the NCSP. Our findings showed that the ESG rating is significantly correlated with NCSP, that the ESG rating can dramatically enhance corporate accounting conservatism, and that accounting conservatism has a partial mediating effect between an ESG rating and the NCSP. Furthermore, we noticed that the positive effect of ESG ratings on NCSP among non-state (non-SOE) corporations is more pronounced. The most prominent of the three perspectives of ESG ratings was governance (G). We found that the ESG rating had a stronger impact on the NCSP during the post-COVID-19 period than in the pre-COVID-19 period. In this paper, based on the perspective of accounting conservatism, we enrich the study of ESG ratings in the capital market, provide empirical evidence for the theoretical study of NCSP, and offer a reference for the optimization of the ESG concept and its positioning in corporations. In future studies, expanding the sample range may lead to different interesting findings. Full article
