“…The pollution of developing countries would be reduced through the FDI by getting updated as well as environment friendly equipment from the developed economies (Al-Mulali and Tang, 2013). The developing countries are rapidly removing trade barriers as a trade policy to attract more FDI (Dutta and Roy, 2009). Nowadays, countries rely more on the FDI for their economic growth (Lau et al, 2014).…”

PurposeThis research aims to inspect the existence of the “environmental Kuznets curve” (EKC) in the presence of foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development (FD) and urbanization throughout 1972–2018 for Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachFor time series analysis, Phillips and Perron (PP) and Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root tests are used to confirm the level of integration. For robustness, Kim and Perron (2009)’s structural break unit root test is employed, which identifies the order of integration in the presence of structural break years. Further, combined cointegration analysis is performed to confirm the existence of a long-run association between underlying variables. Furthermore, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) analysis is employed for the robustness of the cointegration approach.FindingsThe cointegration analysis confirms the existence of a long-run association among variables. The authors find a positive and significant impact of urbanization, FD and foreign development on environmental degradation in the long run. Similarly, only FDI increases environmental degradation in the short run. In addition, the authors find an inverted U-shape relationship between economic growth and environmental quality which, further, confirms the presence of EKC in Pakistan.Originality/valueThis research contributes to applied economics in many ways: the combined effect of urbanization, FD, FDI and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is checked simultaneously. To avoid ambiguity, this study constructs the FD index through the principal component analysis (PCA). Moreover, the role of structural breaks has been considered through the analysis. Novel Bayer-Hanck combined cointegration analysis is employed to detect the existence of long-run relationships among underlying variables.

Economic growth is a process of enhancement in total production level measured by absolute and relative increases or real production per capita. Economic growth is also related with development of production capacity. Recent researches consider Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as one of the indicators of growth. Logistics Performance Index (LPI) issued by World Bank is an indicator of logistics performance of a country consisting of six dimensions. Foreign Direct Investments involve establishing operations or acquiring tangible assets by a foreign firm for doing businesses in other country. In order to indicate the importance of logistics performance and capabilities, the paper investigates the mediator effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the relation between Logistics Performance and Economic Growth. Research model is used to test above relationships through hierarchical regression method. As a result of analyses conducted, the mediator effect of FDI on the relation between LPI and GDP is found as statistically significant.

Dutta and Roy (2009) studying a set of a developing countries experience reveal that liberalised trade, financial and labour sectors greatly influence the inflow of FDI into an economy. The authors comment that higher restrictions would increasingly pulldown the FDI inflow, lower levels of restrictions bring in increasingly higher levels of FDI.…”

To boost the manufacturing sector, India announced a highly ambitious scheme Make in India in 2014. The scheme aims to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub by fostering innovation, facilitate investment and build best in class manufacturing infrastructure. The scheme envisioned to increase the share of the manufacturing sector to the GDP to 25% and create 100 million new jobs by 2025. Another prime objective of the plan was to attract foreign direct investment in the Indian manufacturing sector. The government identified 25 industries in the manufacturing sector. Several steps were undertaken to publicise the campaign both domestically and internationally. The government allocated around Rs. 1821.5 Cr since the launch of the scheme. But, after the six years of its launch, the scheme has made little impact on the economy. The scheme could neither increase the share of the manufacturing sector in GDP nor could attract any significant volume of FDI in the manufacturing sector. In this backdrop, this study attempts to assess the performance of the scheme. The paper also attempts to investigate the factors that hindered its success.
