“…Xing and Kolstad [15] explore how the laxity of environmental regulations in a host country attracts FDIs and influences the location of heavily polluting industries, and find that lax environmental regulation in a host country is a significant determinant of FDI from the US. He [16] constructs a simultaneous model using a panel of data from China's 29 provinces to study the FDI-emission nexus in China, and the results show that with a 1% increase in FDI, industrial emissions will increase by 0.099%. Baek and Koo [17] apply integration analysis and a vector error-correction model to explore the short-run and long-run relationship between FDI and the environment in China and India, and the estimates are also consistent with the pollution haven effect.…”

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) not only affects the economic growth but also affects the environmental protection of the host country. With China's background of pursuing green growth, we need to consider the performance of FDI from the economic and environmental benefit aspects. On this basis, using slacks-based measure directional distance function (SBMDDF) to build up green growth efficiency, economic efficiency and environmental efficiency indexes, empirical research on FDI in 104 Chinese cities from 2004 to 2011 has shown that: (1) Different cities have differences in their green growth efficiency. Shenzhen city is always efficient in green economic growth. (2) Overall, FDI is positive on Chinese cities' green growth. (3) When the green growth efficiency is broken down into economic efficiency and environmental efficiency, FDI promotes China's economic green growth through both environmental benefits and economic benefits. (4) The effect of FDI differs in different sectors. FDI in the emission-intensive sector promotes green efficiency mainly through the improvement of economic efficiency. FDI in the non-emission-intensive sector promotes economic efficiency, environmental efficiency and green efficiency.

“…The N-shaped pattern helps illustrate how economies can correct technical obsolescence by implementing long-term energy regulation policies, making it possible to identify aspects related to scale effects and how these affect technical effects in the long term. Thus, innovation measures contribute to delays in a new ascending trend in pollution (He, 2006;Lorente and Álvarez-Herránz, 2016). To demonstrate the long-term appearance of technical obsolescence, it must be accepted that once an economy achieves a high income, society will demand a high-quality environment, which will require efforts in the form of environmental regulations to promote technical effects through more efficient and less polluting energy production actions (Bruvoll et al, 2003;Turner and Hanley, 2011).…”

How economic growth, renewable electricity and natural resources contribute to CO2 emissions?

et al. 2018

This study explores the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the so-called European Union 5 (EU-5) countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) for the 1985-2016 period. In doing so, we employ a carbon emission function to investigate the environmental Kuznets curve phenomenon, which describes a relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The empirical results confirm the existence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the EU-5 countries. We incorporate additional variables such as renewable electricity consumption, trade openness, natural resource abundance, and energy innovation to augment the carbon emission function. Renewable electricity consumption, natural resources, and energy innovation improve environmental quality, while trade openness and the interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption exert a positive impact on CO2 emissions. This study is novel in that it presents an interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption. We also confirm the need for renewable energy regulations related to increasing renewable sources and promoting energy innovation to reduce the negative effects of energy and fossil energy resources on environmental degradation.

“…Em contraste com os resultados de Cole, Elliott e Zhang (2009), He (2006 e Zeng e Eastin (2007) encontraram uma relação positiva entre IED e qualidade ambiental para o caso da China. He (2006), em particular, chegou a esse resultado mensurando os efeitos escala, composição e tecnologia do IED.…”

O trabalho apresenta uma resenha de literatura sobre a relação entre investimento estrangeiro direto (IED) e meio ambiente. O debate mais recente se estabelece em torno de dois pontos: o papel do IED como instrumento de modernização e crescimento estável no longo prazo e seus possíveis efeitos ambientais devido à frequente relação com atividades causadoras de impactos relevantes. Uma amostra de trabalhos publicados na primeira década do corrente século revelou um claro movimento de pesquisa voltado para a natureza dependente do contexto (context-dependent) dos efeitos ambientais do IED. Esse movimento tem sido caracterizado pela diversidade de relações observadas como, entre outras, o efetivo comportamento ambiental de empresas subsidiárias em relação 1 Artigo derivado de tese de doutorado de Paixão (2014). A autora agradece o apoio financeiro da Capes para a realização da pesquisa.
