In recent years,with the increasingly prominent problems of environmental pollution,climate change,and ecological damage,the "Five Great" new development concepts were put forward for the first time at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18 th CPC Central Committee and put into practice.At the same time,under the background of achieving "carbon peak" in 2035 and "carbon neutrality" in 2060,green finance is crucial to achieving sustainable development.The functions of the financial market promote the development of green finance and increase the intensity of green credit.The in-depth development of green finance provides sufficient financial guarantee and industrial integration for the development of green-related industries,and also limits the development of high-pollution,high-consumption and overcapacity industries,thereby promoting the optimization of the export trade structure to a certain extent.In terms of theoretical research,this paper first combs the relevant literature of scholars on green finance research,export trade structure research and the relationship between the two.At the same time,it expounds the concepts of green finance and export trade structure.Then,the current situation of my country’s green finance and export trade structure is analyzed respectively;the theoretical basis of the related fields of green finance and export trade structure is discussed;Finally,through a series of theoretical analysis,the research shows that green finance can largely promote the optimization of China’s export trade structure.In terms of empirical analysis,based on the relevant data of China’s provincial green finance and export trade structure from2011 to 2020,this paper constructs a gray correlation model,a fixed effect model,a random effect model and a two-way fixed effect model,thus analyzing the green finance.The correlation between the two and the optimization of China’s export trade structure.While analyzing the overall sample to draw conclusions at the national level,it also analyzes the impact of green finance in the eastern,central and western regions of China on the optimization of its export trade structure.Is there any difference in the degree of influence? At the same time,this paper also uses the time when the green financial reform and innovation pilot zone was established as the dividing line to analyze the data of the relevant areas,compare the green financial reform and innovation pilot zone before and after the establishment,and analyze the greenness of the area before and after the establishment.Is there a difference in the degree of optimization of the export trade structure by green finance?In terms of the research conclusions of this paper: first,through the analysis of the panel regression results of the overall sample,it is concluded that green finance has a significant positive effect on the optimization of China’s export trade structure;The optimization of the export trade structure in large regions will have varying degrees of impact,that is,there are regional differences in the impact of green finance on the optimization of the export trade structure.The specific correlation between green finance and the optimization of the export trade structure in the eastern,central and western regions is: eastern region > western region > central region;Third,the study believes that after the establishment of the green finance reform and innovation pilot zone,green finance can further promote the optimization of the export trade structure in the region,which can provide reference for the subsequent establishment of green finance reform and innovation pilot zones in other regions.Finally,according to the research conclusions,the countermeasures and suggestions of this paper are put forward:(1)Formulate differentiated green financial policies and enrich green financial tools;(2)Encourage green innovation of enterprises and cultivate high-quality talents;(3)Promote green financial reform and innovation pilot areas;(4)Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation to form green common development;(5)Strengthen the concept of new green development and adhere to the direction of sustainable development. |
