Abstract: This paper examines the impact of government environmental regulation on corporate green innovation. Empirical analysis reveals that government environmental regulation promotes corporate green innovation activities. The results are validated through endogeneity and robustness tests. Mechanism analysis indicates that media attention partially mediates this relationship, while corporate environmental responsibility plays a positive moderating role. Finally, a heterogeneity analysis shows significant differences in the regulatory effects across different types of enterprises.
