Abstract: Based on enterprise financial data and patent data，this paper manually identifies 86 457 core managers （CEOs and chairmen of the board）data of the academic and R&D experience characteristics and constructs a green innovation database of Chinese Ashare listed firms in 20002020 to explore the impact and mechanism of R&D experience，academic backgrounds and the combination of these two characteristics （CRA）of listed firms core managers on green innovation through an econometric model The findings show that core managers from science，engineering，agriculture and medicine backgrounds are twice likely to engage in R&D than those from arts，commerce and law backgrounds After further controlling technological expert executives R&D background and academic qualifications，the regression results show that CRA still have a positive effect on green innovation and the channels are that R&D capital investment and R&D personnel investment have a mediating effect，and ownership structure，firm size，and R&D personnel investment have a moderating effect Heterogeneity analysis shows that large enterprises provide a better platform for technological expert executives，and they can play a greater role in green innovation，while the current green innovation in Chinas listed firms is still in the early stage The paper further examines the potential endogeneity issue using a quasinatural experiment of core managers “turnover” and various PSM methods The results are consistent
