Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on China’s Environment: An Empirical Study Based on Industrial Panel Data

摘要: Abstract 在Copeland-Taylor模型的基础上引入技术因素,将外国直接投资(FDI)对东 道国的环境影响分解为规模效应、结构效应和技术效应三种机制,并结合中国2001-2009年36个工业行业的面板数据, 运用结构计量模型和系统广义矩估计方法对FDI进 入程度与污染排放的关系进行经验检验,可以发现: FDI无论是在总体上还是分行业上 都有利于减少我国工业的污染排放,其主要原因在于, FDI通过技术引进与扩散带来 的正向技术效应超过了负向的规模效应与结构效应。此外,中国当前的外资进入程度 距离以环保为目标的最优水平还有一段空间,因此应积极鼓励具有环保技术优势的外 资企业的进入, 实现节能减排和可持续发展的战略目标。 关键词: 外国直接投资 污染排放 This study introduces the technological factor into Copeland-Taylor model and decomposes impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on environment host country three mechanisms: scale effect, structural effect effect. It also draws panel data from 36 Chinese industries in 2001-2009 uses a econometric SYS-GMM to explore relationship between level FDI inflow pollutant emissions. The major finding is that helps reduce industrial emissions both general specific industries, because positive brought about by introduction an...
