Abstract

This study examines the impact of new quality productive forces (NPRO) on corporate value and its underlying mechanisms using a sample of all A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2024. The results show that NPRO significantly and positively influences corporate value, a conclusion that remains robust across various tests. Mechanism analysis reveals that technological innovation plays a mediating role in this relationship. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis indicates that the value-enhancing effect of NPRO is more pronounced among firms in high-tech and highly competitive industries. This paper provides micro-level empirical evidence of the economic consequences of NPRO, offering valuable insights for governments to formulate differentiated policies and for enterprises to pursue high-quality development.
