Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of firms’ digital innovation on trade credit with a sample of China’s listed firms from 2010 to 2022. We utilize a novel identification strategy, analyzing patent texts and refining measurement techniques to capture previously overlooked yet significant keywords of digital transformations. The empirical results show that enterprise digital innovation promotes trade credit by reducing bullwhip effect and improving total factor productivity. The relationship is more pronounced among firms that are non-state-owned enterprises, face fierce competition, and have lower supply chain concentration. Our study underscores the positive role of digital innovation in trade credit provision, shedding light on firms’ digital transformation and financing strategies.
