经济发展依赖大量化石能源的投入,由此引起的温室气体排放所带来的气候变化正在日益威胁着世界各国。大部分发展中国家由于缺乏足够的资金和技术能力,难以应对日愈严峻的气候风险。中国作为发展中国家,在不断尽力扩大有限自主研发的同时,必须依靠发达国家的技术溢出来获得先进的低碳技术,进而降低自身的排放量以完成对世界所作出的节能减排承诺。本文利用省级面板数据和动态面板模型来研究外商直接投资的技术溢出对中国碳强度的影响。研究结果表明,外商直接投资技术溢出有效地降低了中国的碳强度,从而为中国实现节能减排目标提供了一个新的视角和思路。
Economic development depends on a lot of fossil energy inputs; as a result, climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is threatening the whole world. Most developing countries lack adequate resources and technical capacity to deal with severe weather risk. As a developing country, China is constantly trying to expand the independent research and must rely on technology spillovers of developed countries to obtain advanced low-carbon technologies, then can reduce the emissions in order to complete the energy saving and emission reduction commitments. In this paper, provincial panel data and dynamic panel model are applied to study the technology spillovers of foreign direct investment on China's carbon intensity. The results show that technology spillovers of foreign direct investment in China effectively reduce the carbon intensity, which provides a new perspective to achieve emission reduction targets in China.
