This paper examines whether lax environmental policy and abundant natural resources both attract foreign direct investment (FDI). At first, their potential effects are discussed using arguments from the pollution haven hypothesis and the natural resource curse. Using cross-country Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regressions and robustness checks like Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares (I...

Unlike previous research on foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and pollution, this study focuses investigating complex interactions specifically. A dynamic simultaneous equation model is adopted, together with the one-step systematic GMM, drawn upon to empirically analyze 30 Chinese provinces between 2006 2017. The results show that FDI does promote growth in China which, turn, p...

This study explores the dynamic effect of non-renewable energy, renewable economic growth, and foreign direct investment on environmental degradation in twenty selected African countries over period 2000–2015. We have adopted Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis Pollution Haven/Halo simultaneously. In first stage, this paper performs cross-independence test found cross-sectional dependence ca...

To understand the potential impacts of China’s accession to WTO in her new de-sulphur policy (reduction of 10% of SO2 emission in 2005 with respect to that of 2000), we construct a CGE model in which the SO2 emission is linked directly to energy intermediary consumption in production. The positive externality of trade on China’s economy is also included. This model is then calibrated into a 55-...

This study examines the impact of economic growth and FDI on environmental degradation in Indonesia through a two-hypotheses model. Environmental is crucial matter that needs attention often associated with required by developing countries. Based externality theory, this uses EKC hypothesis, followed pollution haven vs. halo. With time series data from 1980–2021, two hypothesis models were esti...

The literature on the impact of policy uncertainty climate change has grown rapidly in recent years as policymakers and researchers have become increasingly concerned about potential adverse effects environmental sustainability. This study aims to investigate economic (EPU), GDP per capita, renewable energy consumption (REC), foreign direct investment (FDI) sustainability from perspectives Kuzn...
