“…The second stream focuses on the positive effects of the pollution-halo hypothesis, positing that FDI brings advanced technologies and management experience to less developed regions, improving both resource-use efficiency and environmental quality (Pan X et al, 2023;Teng et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2023;Xie et al, 2023;Yilanci et al, 2023).…”

Unlike previous research on foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and pollution, this study focuses on investigating complex interactions specifically. A dynamic simultaneous equation model is adopted, together with the one-step systematic GMM, drawn upon to empirically analyze 30 Chinese provinces between 2006 and 2017. The results show that FDI does promote economic growth in China which, in turn, positively affects FDI. However, FDI inflow and economic growth both have negative environmental effects. A higher level of environmental pollution corresponds with FDI becoming more attractive. In the case of China, therefore, the pollution-haven hypothesis holds weight. Specifically, industrial environmental pollution is found to positively affect economic growth, indicating this growth to fall on the left side of the environmental Kuznets Curve. Accordingly, therefore, policymakers should look to optimize China’s industrial structure, guide the inflow of high-quality FDI, and promote healthy and sustainable development under the country’s new development philosophy.

“…Third, this study uses the logarithm of the number of overseas investment countries as a proxy for internationalization. Overseas investment is an important means for companies to gain revenue from overseas businesses or develop internationally, requiring more international competitiveness (Teng et al, 2023). Table 5 presents the results of replacing the dependent variables.…”

Based on 14,020 observations of Chinese A-share listed SMEs from 2007 to 2021, this study uses the difference-in-differences (DID) model to investigate the impact of cross-border e-commerce on enterprises’ international competitiveness. The results show that the comprehensive pilot zone of cross-border e-commerce significantly promotes SMEs’ overseas business income of SMEs, indicating that cross-border e-commerce is a powerful tool for improving corporate international competitiveness. In addition, the total factor productivity (TFP) of SMEs has been significantly improved in the process of expanding overseas markets. The triple DID model shows that the pilot policies of cross-border e-commerce significantly promoted the TFP of international enterprises, which means that cross-border e-commerce is conducive to improving international competitiveness. This study also verifies the market information mechanism of cross-border e-commerce, which enables SMEs to improve their international competitiveness. Developing and emerging countries should accelerate the institutional reform of digital trade to facilitate SME internationalization.

“…By controlling for economic development factors, research can better explore the balance and coordination between government, economic development, and ecological welfare. Economic development is represented by per capita GDP [27,73] 3. 4 reports the results of the systematic GMM regression of the effects of economic and environmental competition on the EWP in the current period.…”

Improving the efficiency of converting natural resources into social benefits is an important issue for sustainable development in today’s world. Based on this background this paper applies the super-efficient SBM model with non-expected output to measure the ecological welfare performance (EWP) of Chinese provinces from 2005–2019, and explores the relationship between government competition and EWP under different assessment systems. The research results show that government competition under economic performance assessment is self-interested and short-sighted, which can negatively affect ecological welfare performance in the current period as well as in the next four years. In contrast, government competition under the environmental assessment system promotes EWP in both the current and long term, balancing short-term and long-term benefits. The results of the spatial GMM found that government competition under economic performance appraisal can deteriorate EWP in local as well as surrounding areas, but government competition under the environmental assessment system can achieve an increase in local ecological welfare performance and the spillover effect is not significant. To alleviate the limitations of a single appraisal system, this paper incorporates both economic and ecological appraisals into the multidimensional appraisal system. When the weights of both are between 1:9 and 3:7, the government competition under multidimensional performance appraisal can promote both current and longer-term EWP, and achieve its own ecological welfare performance without affecting the surrounding areas.
