The previous studies have shown that there has not been consensus among the economists in this field. Paper is analyzing the effect of inter-industrial trade on the Iran’s air pollution. Also in this paper, the pollution haven hypothesis is tested in Iran. To study the effect of inter-industrial trade on the environment in two ways: 1) direct effect on the environment and 2) an indirect effect through growth and the effect of growth on the environment were examined. The model has been estimated by using the panel data method for Iran’s various industrial sectors over 1980-2014. The results show that inter-industrial trade has positive effect on Iran’s air pollution. Also, pollution haven hypothesis is valid in Iran.展开更多

He lives by the Huaihe River, a major river in central China, but two or three times a month he has to fetch water for washing clothes and cooking from a place miles away. The reason is simple: the Huaihe River,展开更多
以经济增长和环境污染的关系为基础,考察对外开放对环境污染以及二者关系的影响,分解不同FDI(Foreign Direct Investment)来源对环境污染的边际影响。利用1998—2003年中国30个省(市、自治区)的面板数据,以四种工业污染物排放量两类环...以经济增长和环境污染的关系为基础,考察对外开放对环境污染以及二者关系的影响,分解不同FDI(Foreign Direct Investment)来源对环境污染的边际影响。利用1998—2003年中国30个省(市、自治区)的面板数据,以四种工业污染物排放量两类环境质量衡量指标为因变量,对影响环境污染的各因素进行实证检验,结果发现:所考察的各工业污染物的排放均符合环境库兹涅茨曲线假说,环境库兹涅茨曲线的形状以及污染拐点的位置与污染物的选择和环境质量衡量指标的选择有关,根据污染排放量指标计算的污染拐点远大于根据污染排放强度指标计算的污染拐点;对大部分污染排放物不同的环境质量衡量指标而言,对外开放对环境污染虽然很小,但统计上还是有显著的影响,这在一定程度上支持了污染避难所假说在中国的成立;不同的FDI来源对中国环境污染具有不同的影响,对大多数污染物而言,来自港澳台的FDI对环境质量具有显著的负面影响,而来自其他国家的FDI则对中国的环境污染没有明显的影响。展开更多
