Abstract:
This study examines the impact of green finance (GF), industrial innovation (II), and financial
market dynamics (FMD) on industrial resilience (IR) in China and selected European
industrialized nations. Panel data from 2003 to 2022 is utilized for empirical analysis. The study
used FMOLS regression techniques to control for unobserved heterogeneity across countries.
Similarly, GMM estimation is employed to address endogeneity concerns and validate the
outcomes. This study proposes three empirical models for achieving its objectives. The models
include a baseline model evaluating direct impacts, an interaction model investigating moderating
connections, and a region-specific model comparing China with Europe. Findings reveal that GF,
II, and FMD significantly enhance IR. Interaction effects indicate that the combined impact of GF
and II, GF and FMD, and II and FMD also positively influence IR in the selected panel. Further
examination of the regional comparisons reveals that while FMD is more substantial in Europe,
China achieves more from GF and II. These results confirm the hypotheses of the study and
highlight the importance of financial structures and policy frameworks in shaping industrial
resilience. The study further recommends stronger financial market integration with sustainability
initiatives in China and increased support for innovation in Europe.
