摘要

为了更好地平衡经济增长与环境保护之间的关系，中国正在鼓励绿色外国直接投资（FDI），但其对环境的影响仍不明确。我们的研究利用一个独特的数据集，在小空间尺度上研究了绿色外商直接投资对环境的影响。结果表明，绿色外商直接投资大大缓解了当地的空气污染。这种影响在绿色外商直接投资企业所在地附近更为明显，并随着距离的增加而减弱。此外，在地方政府强调环境保护的地区，这种效应更为突出。异质性分析发现，这种效应对小型企业、独资企业或制造业企业更为明显。

Does green foreign investment contribute to air pollution abatement? Evidence from China

To better balance economic growth and environmental protection, China is encouraging green foreign direct investment (FDI), but the environmental impact remains unclear. Our study examines the environmental impact of green FDI at small spatial scales using a unique dataset. Results show that green FDI significantly alleviates local air pollution. This effect is more pronounced in the vicinity of green FDI enterprises' sites and decays as the distance increases. Also, it is more salient in areas where local governments highlight environmental protection. Heterogeneous analysis finds that the effect is more significant for enterprises that are small-scale, sole-venture or in manufacturing industries.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
