However, because existence agency problems, managers may have shortsighted behaviors. Then how will managers' behaviors affect enterprises' innovation? Design/methodology/approach This paper uses machine learning-based text analysis methods construct a manager myopia index based on data from A-share listed companies Shanghai Shenzhen Stock Exchanges 2015 2020. We examine impact in companies. Findings Our study finds that significantly inhibits when multiple large shareholders coexist proportion institutional investors' holdings high, it can alleviate inhibitory effect innovation. Heterogeneity tests show relatively significant non-state-owned manufacturing companies, as well electricity industry. Robustness demonstrate our conclusions remain valid after using propensity score matching eliminate endogeneity problems. Originality/value From perspective corporate governance, this incorporates shortsightedness, shareholding ratios into same logical framework, analyzes their internal mechanisms, helps improve enhances capabilities has strong implications for implementation national innovation-driven strategies achievement “carbon peak” neutrality” targets.

The results show that, first, CPU can significantly improve GTFEE, are reconfirmed after various robustness tests. Second, promotes GTFEE by improving public environmental concerns optimizing consumption structure. Third, promotion role of is particularly resource-based economically developed cities. provide theoretical basis practical enlightenment for government formulate forward-looking policies promote transformation development

This research investigates the influence of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and its squared term (squared EPU) on advancement environmental technologies registration patents in BRICS nations over period from 2010 to 2022. Employing cross-section autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) technique, analysis reveals a significant negative relationship liaison between EPU both innovation patent registrations, indicating that an increased discourages investment sustainable technologies. Conversely, positive was found with square EPU, suggesting elevated levels may stimulate innovative responses as firms seek differentiate themselves competitive market. These findings underscore necessity for stable transparent frameworks foster long-term commitments innovation. enriches literature by illustrating dual nature differentiated effects eco-innovation.
