Empirical results show that while FDI spillover has a negative effect, enhanced environmental regulation has a positive effect. Environmental regulation also has a significant impact on the marginal effect of FDI spillover on industrial technology development. Separate studies on state-owned and private enterprises suggest that environmental regulation has a heterogeneous effect on industrial technology progress and the marginal effect of FDI spillover on industrial technology progress.展开更多

Empirical results show that while FDI spillover has a negative effect, enhanced environmental regulation has a positive effect. Environmental regulation also has a significant impact on the marginal effect of FDI spillover on industrial technology development. Separate studies on state-owned and private enterprises suggest that environmental regulation has a heterogeneous effect on industrial technology progress and the marginal effect of FDI spillover on industrial technology progress.
