The comprehensive influence of FDI considering environmental regulation

چکیده
FDI not only affects the host country's economic growth, but also affects the environment. Under the background of reality that in pursuit of green development, we need to take the comprehensive consideration of FDI performance from economic growth and environmental pollution. Considering the economic and environmental factors, we estimated 280 cities' green development efficiency in China from 2003 to 2012, and we treated green efficiency as a comprehensive measure of economic growth and environmental pollution in China to study the effects of FDI on the development of China. Results were: Generally, FDI has a negative effect to city green development efficiency, which means FDI is not conducive to the green development of Chinese cities. Further analysis shows that, from the perspective of economic growth, FDI is not conducive to economic growth; from the perspective of environmental pollution, FDI is conducive to the environmental protection.
