FDI的引进加剧了我国的碳排放吗?——基于市场化角度的再分析

Did the Introduction of FDI Contribute to China's Carbon Emissions?——Analysis Based on the Market Perspective

"污染天堂假说"在我国是否成立不仅有赖于引进外资的质量和数量,而且与当地的市场化水平有着直接的关系。在我国近十几年来市场化进程快速推进的背景下,以碳排放为对象,利用省际面板数据对FDI、碳排放、市场化水平三者间的关系进行了实证研究。结果表明:从直接影响看,FDI显著促进了我国各地区的人均碳排放和单位GDP碳排放;而从间接影响看,这种影响依赖于当地的市场化水平,二者交互项显著为负的实证结果表明一个地区的市场化水平越高,对外资的引进越能降低当地的碳排放水平,反之亦然。因此,加速地方市场化进程的推进,不仅有助于提高引进外资的质量,而且有助于当地碳排放问题的改善。

Whether the'pollution haven hypothesis'would be established in China not only depends on the quality and quantity of foreign capital,but also has direct relationship with local market level.Under the background of accelerating marketing process in China in recent years,this paper carries empirical research on the relationship among carbon emissions,FDI and marketing process.The results show that FDI significantly promotes China's per capita carbon emissions and carbon intensity directly,but the results are different from the indirect perspective,which is China's local marketing level.In the empirical research,the interaction of FDI and marketing index is significantly negative,which means that the higher the local marketing level is,the less the carbon emissions would be as the foreign capital was introduced,and vice versa.Therefore,speeding up the progress of local marketing,not only helps to improve the quality of foreign investment,but also reduces local carbon emissions.
