Abstract

ABSTRACT The extant literature has raised debates concerning environmental performance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. We applied meta-analysis of 121 estimates reported in 40 studies to quantitatively synthesize our knowledge and understanding of the topic. Our findings indicate that FDI leads to better environmental performance through a pollution abatement effect, but not through enhancements in green total factor productivity. The meta-regression analysis reveals that the degree of environmental pollution abatement effects is moderated by environmental regulations, FDI measurement, and the consideration of endogeneity in empirical estimations. The results are discussed with references to scholarly and practical implications.

外商直接投资对环境绩效的双重影响:中国经验证据的元分析
现有文献对外商直接投资(FDI)在中国的环境绩效提出了争论。我们对40项研究中的121项估计进行了荟萃分析,以定量地综合我们对该主题的知识和理解。研究结果表明,FDI通过污染减排效应而不是通过提高绿色全要素生产率来改善环境绩效。元回归分析表明,环境规制、外商直接投资计量和经验估计中考虑内生性因素对环境污染减排效果的影响程度有调节作用。讨论了研究结果的学术意义和实际意义。
