摘要:文章基于美国宇航局社会经济数据与应用中心(SEDAC)提供的2001—2013年中国30个省的PM2.5面板数据,探究了外商直接投资对中国PM2.5空气污染的影响。该文针对“污染避难所”假说进行再检验.研究发现:首先。从全国范围来看,外商直接投资对PM2.5有着显著的正向影响。“污染避难所”假说成立;其次。分区域来看,东部地区外商直接投资对PM2.5的影响显著且程度大.中部和西部地区对PM2.5的影响不显著,FDI对环境的负面效应呈现东高西低的态势;再次,外商直接投资与PM2.5之间不存在内生性,表明外商直接投资对PM2.5仅存在单向影响,这意味着空气污染程度并不左右外商直接投资的区位选择。未来,面对“污染避难所”的国际与省际转移.如何选择清洁生产、制定有效的区域问协调发展战略仍富有政策挑战性。
Based on the PM2.5 panel data of China's 30 provinces during the period of 2001-2013 provided by the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), this paper explores the effect of foreign direct investment on PM2.5 air pollution. There are several points of innovation in this paper's re-inspection of "pollution haven hypothesis". The first is to use PM2.5 as a pollution index, the second is to examine the endogenous causality between FDI and air pollution, and the third is to take China as the observation sample. The results show that foreign direct investment has a significant positive effect on PM2.5 nationwide, and its influence is significant in the eastern areas but not significant in the central and western regions. The negative effect on the environment shows a "high-east and low-west" trend. Besides, there is no endogeneity between foreign direct investment and PM2.5, indicating that foreign direct investment only has a one-way influence on PM2.5, which means that the degree of air pollution does not have an impact on the location choice of foreign direct investment. In the future, facing the international transfer and provincial transfer of "pollution haven", it is still a big challenge for policies about how to choose the sustainable development strategy of clean production and effective regional coordination.
