Abstract:

In order to strengthen enterprise safety management, improve economic benefits and optimize the safety investment structure, based on the perspective of safety accounting, taking the listed enterprises of mining industry from 2012 to 2019 as samples, a multiple regression model was applied to analyze of the impact of safety investment and technological innovation on economic benefits of mining enterprises. Then, the panel threshold regression model was constructed with technological innovation as the threshold value to further explore the relationships among them. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between safety investment and economic benefits of enterprises, and technological innovation has a significant positive role in promoting economic benefits of enterprises. With technological innovation as the threshold value, there is a single threshold effect on the impact of safety investment on economic benefits. On both sides of the threshold, technological innovation positively promotes the positive impact of safety investment on economic benefits of enterprises, but the promotion intensity on the left side of the threshold is significantly greater than that on the right side.

Key words: safety investment, technological innovation, extractive industry, economic benefits, threshold effect
