摘要
改革开放以来,我国的对外经济贸易有了显著的发展,外商直接投资和进出口的快速增长有效地推动了经济的快速发展。然而在经济发展的同时,我国碳排放水平日益提高,已成为全球最大排放国。为了更好地管控碳排放,研究外商直接投资(FDI),对外贸易与碳排放的关系具有重要意义。本文通过对我国1995—2011年29个省(市、自治区)的FDI、对外贸易对碳排放的动态效应分析发现,FDI与进出口水平的提升均有利于降低我国碳排放的水平,"污染天堂"假说在我国并未得到证实。同时,本文验证了"环境库兹涅茨曲线"在我国的存在,证实了我国的碳排放水平与人均GDP存在倒"U"型关系。
China’s foreign business has been developed significantlysince its reform and opening-up. The rapid growth of FDI and total volume of foreign trade had helped to boost China’s economic development. However, meanwhile China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions had also increased at a remarkable speed, and China has already become the largest CO2 emitter. To curb CO2 emissions more effectively, it is important and meaningful to investigate the relationship between China’s CO2 emissions and the level of foreign business. In this research, we utilized China’s provincial panel data (1995-2011) to estimate the dynamic relationship between FDI, foreign trade and CO2 emissions. The results showed that higher levels of FDI and foreign trade contributed to decrease CO2 emissions when other conditions were equal. Therefore the hypothesis of pollution paradise is not valid in China. Meanwhile, the estimation results also verified the existence of inverted-U shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for CO2 emissions in China.
