外商直接投资对中国经济增长的贡献作用非常显著,但随着外商直接投资规模的不断扩大,其带来的环境效应也十分明显。以中国30个省份面板数据为基础的实证研究结果显示,外商直接投资对我国东中西部地区造成环境污染的程度有较大差异。从统计上看,外商直接投资与环境管制力度之间存在着显著的关系,中西部地区引进外商直接投资的数额随着环境管制力度的增强而显著减少。
Foreign direct investment has made a great contribution to China's economic growth.As FDI grows larger,the negative environmental effect caused by FDI cannot be ignored.We make a model to do an empirical research with panel data on the environmental effect of FDI in China based on the data of thirty provinces from 2000 to 2006.The results show that: the environmental effect of FDI varies in different regions for their different proportions of FDI.In addition,there is a statistical relationship between pollution control and FDI.Admittedly,the environmental effect of FDI differs from different regions with different economic development levels.The amount of FDI in central and western areas decreases apparently with the environmental control increases.
