Abstract: This study examines data listed Chinese companies’ spanning 2008 to 2023 to explore the relationships among digital inclusive finance, intellectual property protection (IPP), and corporate carbon emission reduction (CER). Findings indicate that IPP promotes corporate CER and causes heterogeneity between heavily polluting and lightly polluting enterprises. DIF plays a moderating role in the relationship between IPP and corporate CER, which also shows heterogeneity between high-tech and nonhigh-tech enterprises.
