“…In terms of the relationship between environmental regulations and FDI, a more relaxed degree of environmental regulations attracts FDI inflows from polluting industries [ 29 ], and stronger environmental regulations reduce the negative impact of FDI on host country productivity, and environmental regulations play an important role in screening inward FDI [ 30 ]. Environmental regulations play a positive role in enhancing the quality of incoming FDI and the quality development of the Chinese economy [ 31 ].…”

Based on the provincial panel data of China during 2006–2017, this study uses the panel smooth transition (PSTR) model to study the dynamic transformation mechanism of pollution emission under environmental regulation. We focus on technological progress, economic growth, and foreign direct investment (FDI) as threshold variables, and analyses the non-linear effects of environmental regulation on pollution emissions under those threshold variables, attempting to explore the effectiveness of existing environmental regulations. The structure of biased technological progress is based on the slacks-based measure (SBM) and Global-Malmquist–Luenberger index, which is divided into pollution-biased technology progress and clean-biased technology progress. Finally, we use the panel vector auto regressive (PVAR) algorithm to further verify the relationship. The findings are as follows: (1) Environmental regulation has a significant nonlinear effect on pollution emissions, and technological progress is the optimal threshold variable of this study. (2) Under the influence of these three factors, environmental regulation has a substitution effect on pollution discharge, and a stronger substitution effect on emission reduction in areas with advanced technology and high FDI. It also has a lower emission reduction effect in the high-system areas of economic development than in the low-system areas. (3) The PVAR results show that the impact on environmental regulation of technological progress and FDI has gradually turned from positive to negative; the impact of economic growth on environmental regulation has always been positive but is gradually decreasing. This study points out the direction for governments and companies to implement effective environmental regulations.

“…With respect to the impact of environmental regulation on the GTFP, there are totally different effects [28]. On the one hand, the implementation of environmental regulation would force local enterprises to pay taxes for pollution, due to which enterprises will purchase environmental protection equipment or reduce their environmental pollution by investing in advanced technology.…”

With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is facing many environmental problems that need to be solved in the process of development. This paper aims to analyze the environmental governance effects of nine provinces and two municipalities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2009 to 2018. Firstly, based on the input-output index, the slacks-based measure (SBM) undesirable model and Malmquist (ML) index were used to measure the green total factor productivity (GTFP) of the YREB from 2009 to 2018. The results showed that the technological progress index contributed the most to the GTFP of the YREB, followed by the pure technical efficiency index and the scale efficiency index. Environmental regulation has no significant impact on the GTFP of the YREB. Secondly, by analyzing the effect of environmental governance in the YREB, the results show that the main reasons for the ineffective environmental governance in the YREB are the redundant input of environmental resources, excessive unwanted output, and low harmless treatment rate of municipal solid waste, rather than the low level of urban environmental management. Finally, this paper provides recommendations for the ineffective provinces and municipalities of the YREB to further optimize the input-output factors of environmental governance.

“…The results showed that higher firm investments in China significantly increased the probability of exporting due to the positive effect of firm investments on firm productivity. When clarifying the connection between investment and a firm's export performance, some researchers have explored the positive impacts of investments on productivity (Gomes, Alves and Silva, 2018;Khanna and Sharma, 2018;Li, Miao and Zhang, 2021;Qiu, Wang and Geng, 2021). For example, Antonietti and Marzucchi (2014) focused on the following two-stage model to empirically analyze the connection between investments in environmentallyoriented equipment and a firm's export performance.…”

This study examined causality association and short-and long-term relationship between investments and exports in Turkey for the period of 1980-2019. After detecting that series of investment and export are stationary at first differences based on KPSS stationarity test, a cointegration test was implemented by employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound test, the results of which disclosed that investments and exports in Turkey are co-integrated and move together over the long-term. The long-term coefficient estimation findings showed that investments positively and statistically significantly affect exports over the long-term. In other words, an increase in the investment level by 1% induced increase in the export level by 0.13% over the long-term. Meantime the estimated model had no problems with regard to autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, normality, and model specification. Finally, the causality test results indicated that there was only a one-way causality relationship running from the investments to the exports. Türkiye'nin 1980Türkiye'nin -2019 dönemi verileri ile açıklamaktadır. KPSS durağanlık testine bağlı olarak yatırımlar ve ihracat serilerinin birinci farklarının durağan olduğuna ulaşılmasından sonra ARDL sınır testini istihdam ederek bir eş bütünleşme testi uygulanmıştır. Bu analiz sonuçları Türkiye'de yatırımlar ve ihracat değişkenlerinin eş bütünleşik olduğu ve uzun dönemde birlikte hareket ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Uzun dönem katsayı tahmin bulguları uzun dönemde yatırımların ihracatı pozitif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkileyeceğini göstermektedir. Başka bir deyişle, yatırımlardaki %1'lik bir artışın, uzun dönemde ihracat seviyesinde %0,13 kadar bir artışa neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca tahmin edilen model; oto korelasyon, değişen varyans, normallik ve model belirleme ile ilişkili problemlere sahip bulunmamaktadır. Sonuç olarak; nedensellik test sonuçları, yatırımlardan ihracata doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşmaktadır. Öz Bu çalışma yatırımlar ve ihracat değişkenleri arasındaki nedensellik ve kısa-uzun dönem ilişkiyi
