Abstract

From the perspective of the development level of green finance, this paper measures the greenwashing behavior of listed high-carbon enterprises based on their data from 2015–2018, and explores the impact of green finance on the greenwashing behavior of enterprises through the mediating effect model. The results of the study show that: there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between green finance and corporate greenwashing behavior, and command-and-control and market-incentive environmental regulations partially mediate the impact of green finance on corporate greenwashing behavior; public-influence environmental regulations do not mediate the impact of green finance on corporate greenwashing behavior. The role of public-influenced environmental regulation in the influence of green finance on corporate “greenwashing” behavior is not mediated.
