Abstract

Abstract There has been a dramatic increase in the long-term accumulation of foreign direct investment ( FDI ) in less-developed countries from 1980–2018. Scholars argue that these processes have harmful effects on climate change-inducing emissions. Here, the author argues that such expansions have beneficial impacts. He empirically evaluates such theorization using fixed effects ( FE ) panel regression models. Results provide support for his view. These results suggest that the long-term accumulation of foreign direct investment in less-developed countries has beneficial implications for the scale, intensity, and ecoefficiency of carbon dioxide emissions.

全球化、外国直接投资和气候变化

从1980年到2018年，欠发达国家的外国直接投资(FDI)长期积累急剧增加。学者们认为，这些过程对导致气候变化的排放有有害影响。在这里，作者认为这种扩张具有有益的影响。他使用固定效应(FE)面板回归模型对这种理论进行了实证评估。结果支持了他的观点。这些结果表明，欠发达国家的长期外国直接投资积累对二氧化碳排放的规模、强度和生态效率都有有益的影响。
