TL;DR
It is shown that AI adoption can strengthen firms’ capacity to withstand and adapt to external shocks, and is stronger in regions with higher human capital, in firms led by CEOs with IT backgrounds, and among state-owned enterprises.
The positive association between AI adoption and firm value further indicates that its economic relevance may extend beyond environmental efficiency in the long term and highlight the potential of AI-enabled innovation to advance green productivity and sustainable corporate development in emerging economies.
We examine how sustainability uncertainty influences firms' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by assessing whether companies expand their AI‐skilled workforce when facing ambiguity in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) conditions. Using the ESG‐based Sustainability Uncertainty Index (ESGUI) and the re...
Using firm-level panel data from Chinese A-share-listed manufacturing firms over the period 2019–2024, this study exploits the staggered implementation of the National New-Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Demonstration Zones as a quasi-natural experiment. A multi-period difference-in-differ...
It is found that the AI policy did not enhance corporate capacity utilization, and this negative effect is particularly pronounced for firms with longer operational histories, higher asset specificity, and greater market concentration.
This research explores the effect of artificial intelligence on innovation resilience. This paper uses Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2024 as its research sample and employs a two-way fixed-effects panel regression model to empirically test the research hypotheses. The results show that AI and innovation...
There are two types of artificial intelligence (AI) – sector-specific and technological – that can contribute to environmental innovation, but each one is context-dependent. Firm-level data are analyzed for firms in selected BRICS Plus countries. The country coverage is based on 2024 technology classifications, 2020-20...
