“…The authors find that FDI worsens environmental quality in the short and long runs. Baek () uses the pooled mean group estimator of dynamic panels to estimate the effects of FDI on CO 2 emissions for five Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries, and the result shows that FDI increases CO 2 emissions. Gokmenoglu and Taspinar () use a bounds test to investigate the relationship between CO 2 emissions and FDI for Turkey over the 1974–2010 period and also provide evidence of the pollution haven hypothesis.…”

“…Other studies address CO 2 emissions and foreign direct investment (FDI), and CO 2 emissions and international trade. Some scholars have studied one-way impact of these factors, such as the impact of FDI on CO 2 emissions (Baek, 2016;Gokmenoglu & Taspinar, 2016;Kivyiro & Arminen, 2014) and the impact of international trade on CO 2 emissions (McCarn & Adamowicz, 2006;Hossain, 2011;Ozturk & Acaravci, 2010;Wang & Ang, 2018). Other scholars consider that bidirectional causality exists in the relationship between CO 2 emissions and FDI (Omri, Nguyen, & Rault, 2014;Pao & Tsai, 2011;Peng, Tan, Li, & Hu, 2016) as well as that between CO 2 emissions and trade openness (Jamel & Maktouf, 2017).…”

This study investigates the causal relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and economic factors in Chinese provinces. Then, this study undertakes a comparative analysis of the eastern, central, and western provinces using a vector autoregressive model and panel data for 1997–2015. The results show there is unidirectional causality from per capita gross domestic product (GDP) to CO2 emissions in eastern and central provinces. Meanwhile, there is unidirectional causality from CO2 emissions to GDP per capita in western provinces. There is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to foreign direct investment in central and western provinces but no impact in eastern provinces. However, there is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to export volume only in eastern provinces. Based on the results, this study concludes that to reduce CO2 emissions, China should not only implement strict laws and regulations but should also advocate green investment, technological innovation, development of a circular economy, and sustainable development.

“…In recent studies, Ali, Law and Zannah point out that increase in energy consumption and economic growth has significantly resulted into more carbon dioxide emissions in Nigeria whereas urbanization is found to be insignificant. Baek uses pooled mean group (PMG) estimation technique to investigate the validity of pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) in ASEAN region. The results suggest that FDI significantly increases the…”

This study examines the influence of green field investment, energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization on the environmental performance of nine selected Asian developing countries over 2003–2014 period. It uses Environmental Performance Index (EPI), developed by the Yale University as proxy for environment. By applying the fixed and random effect estimators and robust least squares technique, the empirical findings show that green field investment has adverse effect on the environmental performance of the nine selected Asian developing countries. However, economic growth is found to have positive influence on the environmental performance. The results suggest that strict environmental regulations should be introduced to mitigate the detrimental effects of foreign capital in these countries and there should not be compromise on the quality of foreign capital. In addition, adequate policies should be formulated to enhance economic growth to ensure sustainable environment in these regions. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1085–1092, 2018

“…Contrarily, Baek (2016) applies the pooled mean group (PMG) estimator of the dynamic panel in the case of the ASEAN-5 countries and shows that FDI tends to increase CO2 emissions. Similarly, Paramati et al (2016) examine the relationship between FDI inflows and carbon emissions using data of emerging economies.…”

Environmental degradation in France: The effects of FDI, financial development, and energy innovations

This paper explores the determinants of carbon emissions in France by accounting for the significant role played by foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development, economic growth, energy consumption and energy research innovations in influencing CO2 emissions function. In this endeavour, we employ the novel SOR ) unit root test on French time series data over the period 1955-2016 to examine the order of integration in the presence of sharp and smooth structural breaks in the variables. We also apply the bootstrapping bounds testing approach, recently developed by McNown et al. (2018), to investigate the presence of cointegration and the empirical findings underscore the presence of cointegration among the time series. Moreover, we find that FDI has a positive impact, while energy research innovations have a negative impact, on French carbon emissions. Financial development lowers carbon emissions, thereby improving the French environmental quality. FDI degrades the environment, and thus supports the pollution-haven hypothesis in France. Similarly, financial development suggests that financial stability is a required condition for improving environmental quality, so are energy research innovations. Contrarily, energy consumption is positively linked with carbon emissions. However, the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions is an inverted-U, which is a validation of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC).
