The research shows that the relationship between administrative order type environmental regulation and public participation type environmental regulation and green investment of enterprises is inverted U-shaped, while the relationship between market incentive type environmental regulation and green investment of enterprises is positive U-shaped; Market incentive environmental regulation and public participation environmental regulation can strengthen the role of administrative order environmental regulation on green investment; Internal control plays a regulatory role in administrative order type environmental regulation and market incentive type environmental regulation. The conclusions of the study provide useful enlightenment for the government to make reasonable planning for different dimensions of environmental regulation, promote internal control of enterprises and increase green investment of enterprises.
