“…The coefficient indicates that a one-percent increase in economic growth will deteriorate environmental quality by about 1.26 percent in Model 1, that is 0.61 percent and 0.07 points in Model 2 and Model 3, respectively, which are all significant at 1% significance level. The negative effect is in line with findings by Bokpin (2017) whereas the positive impact on carbon emissions conforms with studies by Gunarto (2020), Aluko and Obalade (2020), Khan et al (2020), Ganda (2020) and Hao et al (2020).…”

Environmental concerns in today’s world cannot be overemphasised. These concerns have interested policymakers and researchers to delve into the causes in order to help mitigate environmental deterioration and support policies and institutions for environmental sustainability. This study, therefore, investigates the association between foreign direct investment (FDI) and environmental quality, taking into account policies and institutions for environmental sustainability across 23 Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) countries. Employing the generalised method of moment (system-GMM) for the analysis, the results revealed, among others things, that FDI improves environmental quality in the long run, whereas in the short run, FDI diminishes environmental quality when interacted with policies and institutions for environmental sustainability. Furthermore, policies and institutions for environmental sustainability and domestic investment improve environmental quality in SSA in both the long and short run. The study, thus, concludes that policies and institutions for environmental sustainability in SSA are important as they improve environmental quality as well as complement FDI to improve environmental quality in the long run. The study further establishes that domestic investment is important to improve environmental quality in SSA. The study recommends policies for improving environmental quality to policymakers and stakeholders in SSA.

“…Ekwueme et al (2021) measures the variable by the ratio of industrial pollution control investment to GDP. Synthesizing the pros and cons of various indicators and the availability of data, this paper draws on the method of Gunarto (2020) to construct an environmental management system evaluation index. The advantage of this method is that the environmental management system indicators remove the structural factors of the industrial industry.…”

In recent years, countries around the world are significantly increasing their awareness of environmental protection. With a continuous expansion of economic scale, many emerging markets are also sustainably enhancing their standards for industrial carbon emissions in foreign direct investment (FDI). Therefore, the impact of FDI on the host country's industrial carbon emissions has always been a hot topic of researches by scholars. This paper selects panel data of 30 medium and large cities in China from 2006 to 2019, combined with dynamic panel GMM estimation and panel threshold model, and empirically analyzes the impact factors of FDI on the host country’s industrial carbon emissions from the perspective of dual environmental management systems. This paper draws the following conclusions: When taking the formal and informal environmental management system factors as threshold variables into the empirical research process, only the FDI in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai shows a certain inhibitory effect on Chinese industrial carbon emissions. The FDI in other cities increases the scale of industrial carbon emissions. At the same time, in the formal environmental management system, FDI has no significant impact on Chinese industrial carbon emissions. It indicates that the formal environmental management system of each city is not effective in policy formulation or implementation, and it is not able to play the role of innovative compensation and forced emission reduction of the environmental management system. With the exception of Beijing and Shanghai, informal environmental management systems in other cities help curb the scale of industrial carbon emissions brought about by FDI.

“…The study found that the foreign direct investment FDI inflows led to environmental degradation in the case of Brazil but it was not the case for Singapore. (Gunarto, 2020) analyzed the relationship between carbon dioxide gas emission, economic development, energy consumption, and FDI in Asian states for the period (1970 -2014). The results showed that there is a direct relationship between energy consumption and carbon dioxide gas emission, while there is no existence of a significant relationship between FDI and gas emission of carbon dioxide.…”
