“…Interestingly, FDI has no effect on pollution at medium frequency. These results support the findings of some previous studies showing that FDI increases pollution in China [4,12,51,58]. For robustness analysis, spectral causality analysis was conducted and the results of this spectral causality test indicate that FDI causes CO2…”

By applying the wavelet tool, this study examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on pollution in China, for the period 1982 to 2016. Carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions are used as pollution variables. The results reveal that FDI positively affected pollution at high frequency (short term) during the 1980s and after 2000, and at low frequency (long term) but not at medium frequency (medium term) for the entire time period. It demonstrates that FDI increases pollution both in the short and long term, but not in the medium term. It indicates that FDI has created pollution havens in China. For robustness analysis, spectral causality test was applied. The results of this causality test indicate that FDI causes CO2 emissions both in the short-run and long-run. This suggests that in China FDI predicts CO2 emissions. Thus, stringent environmental rules are required to restrict the inflows of foreign dirty industries in China.

“…Even in the context of China, no consensus on the existence of the EKC emerges. Several studies provide evidence of the existence of EKC hypothesis (Haisheng et al 2005, Roumasset et al 2008, Jalil and Mahmud 2009, Yin et al 2015) while on the contrary others reject the existence of EKC hypothesis in the Chinese context (Du et al 2012, Yaguchi et al 2007, Llorca and Meunié 2009, Wang et al 2011, Govindaraju and Tang 2013, Onafowora and Owoye 2014, Yang et al 2015. Amongst these, for instance, Yin et al (2015) and Jalil and Mahmud (2009) provide evidence of the existence of the EKC hypothesis using national-level data.…”

A nonparametric analysis of energy environmental Kuznets Curve in Chinese Provinces

et al. 2020

Energy resources are an important material foundation for the survival and development of human society, and the relationship between energy and economy is interactive and complementary. This paper analyzes the energy consumption-economic growth nexus in Chinese provinces using novel and recent nonparametric time-series as well as panel data empirical approaches. The dataset covers 30 provinces over the period of 1980-2018. The empirical analysis indicates the presence of a nonlinear functional form and smooth structural changes in most of the provinces. The nonparametric empirical analysis validates the presence of a nonlinear unit root problem in energy consumption and economic growth, and nonlinear cointegration between the variables. Additionally, the nonparametric panel cointegration test reports evidence of convergence in energy consumption and economic growth patterns across the provinces. The nonparametric regression analysis finds economic growth to have a positive effect, on average, on energy consumption in all provinces, except for Beijing. Further, the energy environmental Kuznets curve exists between economic growth and energy consumption in 20 out of 30 Chinese provinces. The Granger causality analysis reveals the presence of a mixed causal relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. The empirical findings have important implications for Chinese authorities in planning for improving energy efficiency, decoupling between economic growth and energy consumption, and reducing the environmental footprint of provinces.

“…More recent articles on the pollution effects of FDI were motivated by the idea of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), which describes the relationship between economic development and pollution (Cole et al, 1997;Wheeler, 2001;De Lucia, 2003;Haisheng et al, 2005;Khalil and Inam, 2006;Liang, 2006;Zheng et al, 2010;Cole et al, 2011). These studies, which apply a wide range of empirical approaches, do not arrive at consistent results.…”

Abstract：We compare environmental impacts associated with incoming foreign direct investment versus domestic capital in China. We use aggregate data on Chinese provinces' economic and pollution indicators to explore the effects of the financial origin of fixed capital. Our simultaneous models consider three prime channels through which these effects work: economic scale, sectoral composition, and pollution intensity. Results show that emissions associated with foreign financed capital are lower than with domestically financed capital for some but not all of the considered types of pollution.
