Summary: This article examines the impact of green bonds on firms' green collaborative innovation using data from China's nonfinancial listed companies. The results show that issuing green bonds can significantly promote the quantity and quality of firms' green collaborative innovation. The mechanism research suggests that green bonds can improve the green independent innovation of enterprises, relieve their financing constraints, and enhance corporate reputation, thus promoting the green collaborative innovation of enterprises. Further research reveals that external reviews and repeated issuance of green bonds have a more significant impact on improving green collaborative innovation.

Summary: The Saaty analytic network process (Saaty-ANP) is a generalization of the analytic hierarchy process, while the Markov chain-based ANP (MC-ANP) is another decision-making approach suitable for general structures. Both methods use relative measurement and stochastic matrix to solve problems, but Saaty-ANP has some drawbacks that are addressed by MC-ANP.
