FDI是“清洁”的吗?——中国东部和中部省际面板数据

Is FDI "Clean":an Investigation Based on Panel Data of China's Eastern and Central Provinces

随着中国经济的快速增长和外商直接投资规模的急剧增加,中国环境的承载力受到严峻挑战。在"环境库兹涅茨假说""污染天堂假说"和环境竞次理论的基础上,利用中国东部十一省(市)和中部八省的七个环境污染指标数据,构建面板数据模型,对中国东部和中部的FDI的"清洁"程度进行检验。虽然各省FDI对污染指标的影响存在差异,但并没有足够证据支持"污染天堂假说"。相比较而言,东部的北京和中部的黑龙江的FDI是比较"清洁"的。

As China＇s economy fast grows and the foreign direct investment rapidly increases,the bearing capacity of China＇s environment faces with severe challenges.Based on the environmental Kuznets assumption,pollution haven hypothesis and environmental race to the bottom theory,the panel data are constructed with seven pollution indexes of 11 provinces in eastern China and eight provinces in central China,by which the cleanliness of FDI in eastern and central China is tested.Although the impact of FDI on the pollution index has significant difference in varies provinces,there is not adequate evidence to support the pollution haven hypothesis.Comparatively,FDI in Beijing and Heilongjiang is clean.
