企业的绿色技术创新能力能否提升竞争力？这一主题尚未得到广泛的研究，在现有文献中没有达成共识，也没有明确的基本机制和过程。本研究建立了一个概念性的框架来描述企业的绿色技术创新能力对企业竞争力的影响。该模型以产品差异化为中介变量，以企业规模为调节变量。本研究基于2011年至2016年中国上市企业节能环保数据的分层回归分析。研究结果表明，总体而言，企业的绿色技术创新能力对企业竞争力有显著的正向影响，但不同构成要素对企业竞争力的影响程度不同。产品差异化对企业绿色技术创新能力与竞争力之间的关系具有中介作用，且其中介作用因绿色技术创新能力的构成因素而异。企业规模通过产品差异化正向调节企业绿色技术创新能力与企业竞争力之间的关系。该研究为理解企业绿色技术创新能力对企业竞争力的影响机制提供了新的分析框架，也为绿色技术创新竞争力的发展和政府制定新的政策以完善绿色发展的监管框架提供了有益的启示。
Can an enterprise's green technological innovation ability enhance its competitiveness? This topic has not been studied extensively, there is no consensus in the existing literature, and there is no clear indication of the underlying mechanism and processes. In this research, we establish a conceptual framework to describe the effect of an enterprise's green technological innovation ability on enterprise competitiveness. This model uses product differentiation as the mediating variable and the enterprise scale as the moderating variable. This study is based on a hierarchical regression analysis of the energy conservation and environmental protection data from enterprises listed in China from 2011 to 2016. Our findings show that, in general, the green technological innovation ability of an enterprise has a significant positive effect on the enterprise's competitiveness, but different components have different effects on enterprise competitiveness. Product differentiation has a mediating effect on the relationship between an enterprise's green technological innovation ability and competitiveness, and its mediating effect differs depending on the components of the green technological innovation ability. The enterprise scale positively moderates the relationship between the enterprise's green technological innovation ability and enterprise competitiveness through product differentiation. This research provides a new analytical framework to understand the mechanism underlying the effect of an enterprise's green technological innovation ability on enterprise competitiveness, and it also provides useful insights into the development of green technological innovation competitiveness and the establishment of new policies by the government to improve the regulatory framework for green development.
