We focus on bond issuers in China\u2019s A-shares from the years 2010 to 2021 and explore green bond issuance and the spillover effect of green technology innovation under the market attention perspective. Findings are that: (1) Green bond issuance can produce the spillover effect in the industry and significantly enhance peer enterprises\u2019 green technology innovation. (2) From the viewpoint of market attention, analyst attention can significantly enhance the spillover effect of green bond issuance within the industry. The same is true for media attention and investor attention. (3) Further research shows that within the same industry, the spillover effect is more pronounced for state-owned enterprises, large-scale enterprises, and enterprises in regions with higher levels of green financial development. For the booming development of China\u2019s green bond market and the sustainable development of enterprises, this paper provides theoretical and practical foundations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems12100399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]],"date-time":"2024-09-26T11:40:27Z","timestamp":1727350827000},"page":"399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Green Bond Issuance and the Spillover Effect of Green Technology Innovation from the Perspective of Market Attention: Evidence from China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1035-0891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiyue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanli","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanya Oceanographic Institution, Ocean University of China, Sanya 572024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1006","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eap.2023.09.019","article-title":"Toward Carbon Neutrality: How Will Environmental Regulatory Policies Affect Corporate Green Innovation?","volume":"80","author":"Liu","year":"2023","journal-title":"Econ.
