文摘The present work constitutes further explorations on Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and environmental quality linkages and a starting point in the strategic planning process in the metropolitan area of Bari (the main province of the Apulia region in southern Italy) in the context of transfrontier commercial cooperation. A panel data analysis is used to show either the existence of the relationships across FDI, economic and environmental variables or their nature across provinces and time (fixed or random effect model). Model results suggest that diversification of policies across provinces would be more effective in the strategic planning process of a metropolitan city.
