Abstract Under the background of globalization, and using the green investment data of A-share listed companies during the period of 2013-2017, the article analyzes the effect of firms’ export behavior on its own green investment. The results show that: (1) The proportion of export income has a positive effect on firms’ green investment. (2) For the enterprises with higher capital intensity and higher degree of industrial competition, exportation plays a more significant role in increasing green investment. Furthermore, green credit can promote green investment behavior of exporters. (3) The proportion of firm’s export income has U-shaped influence on its green investment as TFP increases. The paper provides relevant empirical evidence for improving the international reputation and realizing clean production of China’s export enterprises.
