Abstract: How to promote the change of the development mode through corporate green innovations, to realize the balance between economic and social development and environmental quality is an urgent and important research topic.In this sense, the empirical test of the corporate green innovation behaviors is not only among the key interests of academics, but also has strong policy implications. Different from the previous research on it, this paper attempts to start from the new research perspective of peer effects, uses the research history of corporate green innovation behaviors as an entry point, systematically sorts out and analyzes the influencing factors, the mechanism and peer evolution that affect the corporate green innovation behavior.On the basis of this, an integrated theoretical framework is established, and some certain reference for the development of relevant research on corporate green innovation behaviors has been provided.This paper aims to broaden the research perspective of corporate green innovation behaviors, enrich and improve corporate green innovation theories and methods. The research results will help reveal the “black box” of green innovation activities, and provide government guidance for the diffusion of green innovations.
