| Summary/Abstract |
To investigate whether industrial robots have improved the ecological environment, this study integrated the adoption of robot technology and pollution abatement into Melitz's heterogeneous firm model. This showed that using robots in production can lower firms' pollution intensity by increasing their abatement investments, and this reduction effect is greater for higher polluting firms and those subject to weaker local environmental regulations. These theoretical expectations were then confirmed through a series of empirical investigations based on Bartik instrument regressions, with multiple robustness checks as well as heterogeneity and mechanism analyses. This paper adds to the literature on the relationships between automation technologies and green transformation. It shows that in the pursuit of economic growth and environmental protection, it is necessary for policymakers to shift from pollution control to technical support for traditional manufacturing firms.

| Summary/Abstract |
Promoting green transformation through green financial instruments has gradually become a necessary means for heavily polluting enterprises (HPEs) to promote sustainable development. This study matches the “Green Credit Statistical System” with the annual reports of China's A-share listed enterprises, identifies enterprises supported and unsupported by green credit policy (GCP) from HPEs. It uses panel data for 2009–2020 and DID model to examine the impact of GCP on enterprise transformation. The research results show that GCP significantly promotes the green transformation of HPEs. In green credit enterprises, increasing corporate bank loans, promoting technological innovation, and increasing environmental protection spending are the main influencing channels to positively promote enterprise transformation. In nongreen credit enterprises, restricting bank loans, improving financing constraints on enterprises, and increasing information disclosure are the main influencing channels to reverse force enterprise transformation. In addition, for green credit enterprises, policies are more significant in the energy and metal industries, regions with high degree of marketization and energy intensity. For nongreen credit enterprises, policies are more significant in the manufacturing industry, areas with high degree of environmental regulation intensity and marketization.
