Abstract

Previous research has investigated the connections between foreign direct investment (FDI), carbon emissions (CO 2 ), and foreign trade openness. However, these past studies did not specifically focus on industrial sectors in China and their carbon emissions, thus leaving a gap in understanding this relationship. In our study, we aim to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by employing a threshold regression model with a threshold variable. This model calculates how strongly carbon emissions are produced to assess the impact of the industrial sector on carbon emissions. Our findings reveal that foreign trade openness and FDI have a threefold threshold impact on industrial carbon emissions. The effect of FDI on carbon emissions in the industrial sector shows a pattern of initially lowering and then increasing the emissions, indicating potential harm. Conversely, the impact of foreign trade openness on carbon emissions exhibits both positive and negative effects. While foreign trade openness exacerbates carbon emissions in economic sectors with lower carbon intensity, it helps mitigate emissions in sectors with high- carbon emission levels. Furthermore, our study identifies that the intensity of economic activity, per capita GDP, and the number of employees all significantly influence the industrial sector’s carbon emissions. By employing the latest cutting-edge methodology, our research opens the door for extrapolating these findings to other nations for a comprehensive analysis.
碳排放及其与对外贸易开放和外商直接投资的关系
以往的研究考察了外国直接投资(FDI)、碳排放(co2)和对外贸易开放之间的关系。然而,这些过去的研究并没有专门关注中国的工业部门及其碳排放,因此在理解这种关系方面存在空白。在我们的研究中,我们的目标是通过使用带有阈值变量的阈值回归模型来为现有的知识体系做出贡献。该模型计算碳排放产生的强度,以评估工业部门对碳排放的影响。研究发现,对外贸易开放和FDI对工业碳排放具有三倍阈值影响。FDI对工业部门碳排放的影响呈现先降低后增加的趋势,显示出潜在的危害。相反,对外贸易开放对碳排放的影响表现出正、负两方面的影响。对外贸易开放加剧了低碳强度经济部门的碳排放,但有助于降低高碳排放水平经济部门的碳排放。此外,我们的研究发现,经济活动强度、人均GDP和雇员数量都显著影响工业部门的碳排放。通过采用最新的尖端方法,我们的研究为将这些发现外推到其他国家进行全面分析打开了大门。

期刊介绍: Journal of International Commerce, Economics and Policy (JICEP) is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish high-quality research papers that explore important dimensions of the global economic system (including trade, finance, investment and labor flows). JICEP is particularly interested in potentially influential research that is analytical or empirical but with heavy emphasis on international dimensions of economics, business and related public policy. Papers must aim to be thought-provoking and combine rigor with readability so as to be of interest to both researchers as well as policymakers. JICEP is not region-specific and especially welcomes research exploring the growing economic interdependence between countries and regions.
