“…Firstly, the FDI in China has primarily been concentrated in the manufacturing sector, which generates much greater pollution than the agricultural or service sectors. Secondly, variation in environmental standards across different regions encourages both local firms and FDI to move their factories to locations where regulations are less stringent [20]. Thirdly, the implementation of environmental regulations is largely dependent on local government and officials.…”

“…Development strategies used to focus on state's investments and interventions; FDI is now considered as the main source of catching-up and technological development. Wang et al [20] use panel data from 287 Chinese cities over the period 1999-2005 and assess the multiple impacts of FDI in both positive and negative domains. They conclude that FDI enhances economic growth, labor productivity, and innovation but also causes employment reduction and environmental pollution.…”

Environmental pollution and human health problems are becoming serious issues in China. This research focuses on regional differences in productive inefficiencies and attempts to clarify the determinants of inefficiency, accounting economic, environmental and health-related factors. Our dataset includes information of 29 areas in China from 2003 to 2009. We find that after accounting for environmental pollution and health impacts, the productive inefficiency of the examined areas reduced; this result holds for both the national and provincial levels. Our results imply that government efforts to improve social welfare should emphasize increases in foreign direct investment and private medical expenditures.JEL codes: I15, O44, O47, R11

“…Wang et al believe that the main condition for that is, above all, economic and political stability of the countries in which the capital is invested, with the existence of an economic system that will allow an adequate transfer of profits [18]. Speaking of forms, these authors observe foreign direct investment primarily in the way it enters a particular country: as a greenfield investment, M & A and joint venture.…”

Abstract. The main aim of this work is to determine, on the basis of empirical research, whether and to what extent foreign direct investment has impact on the overall economic development of selected countries in the Western Balkans. Analyses made for the purpose of this paper were performed on the basis of available secondary data possessed by the World Bank for the period of 2000-2012. The research methodology involved the use of the techniques of linear regression and correlation analysis. The first task was to determine whether there is an impact of foreign direct investment on the overall economic development of these countries. Where such influence occurred, it was necessary to define its level in comparison to the influence of other variables. The results of the analysis in this paper suggest that inflow of foreign direct investment does not affect to a significant extent the economic development of selected countries in the Western Balkans.

“…Tratando especificamente do setor sucroenergético, Oliveira et al (2012) afirmam que os grupos estrangeiros são capazes de fomentar o desenvolvimento do comércio internacional de etanol, por garantirem o fornecimento continuado e por sua estrutura de exportação, que garantem a competitividade. Mas quando se consideram as métricas sociais e ambientais, há poucos estudos que explorem os efeitos dos investimentos estrangeiros (WANG et al, 2013).…”

RESUMOO objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a influência do investimento estrangeiro direto e da capacidade produtiva na adoção de certificações sustentáveis no setor sucroenergético brasileiro. O levantamento de dados foi feito a partir de uma amostra composta por 100 usinas que representam 58% das empresas em operação no estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram analisados com o modelo multivariado de regressão logística binomial. Os resultados não suportam a hipótese de que o investimento estrangeiro direto tenha um relacionamento positivo com as certificações sustentáveis. Já a hipótese de que a capacidade produtiva está positivamente relacionada com a adoção de certificação sustentável foi estatisticamente significante. Os resultados sugerem que o impacto positivo dos investimentos diretos estrangeiros na sustentabilidade do país local depende da ocorrência de fortes instituições governamentais e da qualidade da fiscalização da conduta das empresas, além da capacidade de absorção e aprendizagem que as organizações devem possuir diante do fluxo de investimento estrangeiro. Já do relacionamento da capacidade produtiva -moagem -com a busca por certificações, pode ser depreendido que as usinas maiores exportam seus produtos para mercados especializados e mais exigentes, a certificação é um pré-requisito para a compra e venda. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa contribui para a literatura existente por avançar em temáticas cujo relacionamento é pouco estudado, principalmente nesse setor. ABSTRACTThe objective of this research is to analyze the influence of direct foreign investment and of the productive capacity in the adoption of sustainable certifications in Brazilian sugarcane sector. The data survey was done from a sample comprised by 100 mills, which represent 58% of the companies operating in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The data were analyzed with the multivariate binomial logistic regression model. The results do not support the hypothesis that direct foreign investment has positive relation with sustainable certifications. The hypothesis that productive capacity is positively related to the adoption of sustainable certification was statistically significant. The results suggest that the positive impact of direct foreign investment on the sustainability of the local country depends on the occurrence of strong governmental institutions and of the quality of corporate conduct supervision, as well as the absorption and learning capacity that organizations must present in view of the flow of foreign investment. Regarding the relationship of productive capacity -milling -with the search for certifications, it can be seen that the larger mills export their products to specialized and more demanding markets, with certification being a prerequisite for buying and selling. Thus, this study contributes to the existing literature by advancing in themes of whicg relation is understudied, especially in this sector.Palavras-chave: Bonsucro, Sustentabilidade, Moagem, Logit.
