Study On The Spatial Relevance Of FDI And Urbanization To Environmental Pollution

A full 40 years have passed since the reform and opening up.These 40 years are the 40 years that our country has taken off,and the 40 years that have been the golden development of China’s industry.During this period,China has achieved its economic brilliance and its rise in political status.Behind this scenery is at the cost of severe ecological damage.Looking at the industrialization process and development path of countries around the world,the establishment of foreign direct investment(FDI)has played an important role in the ecological environment to a large extent.On the other hand,the process of industrialization has led to the advancement of urbanization.On the way to urbanization,it also has a greater or lesser impact on the ecological environment.The internal factors alone are used to track down the causes of environmental pollution damage and disregard of spatial correlation or spatial heterogeneity will cause bias.Therefore,this paper mainly studies the influencing factors of environmental pollution from the perspective of space.This article first sorts out the research on the impact mechanism of urbanization and FDI on environmental pollution,and then uses the entropy method to build a comprehensive environmental pollution index.It further uses panel data from provinces and cities in China from 2005 to 2015,and uses Stata software The spatial correlation of the environmental pollution index of each province and city was measured,and the global Moran’I index including the global spatial autocorrelation was calculated,and the local Moran’I value for testing the local correlation was calculated.Furthermore,the spatial Dubin model that is most suitable for this paper was selected through relevant tests.The space spillover effects of environmental pollution,foreign direct investment and other factors were empirically verified.By further decomposing the space spillover effects,it is better to analyze the direct effects and Indirect effects.According to relevant theories and empirical analysis,the following conclusions are made: from 2005 to 2015,environmental pollution in various provinces and cities across the country showed a significant positive spatial correlation,there was spatial clustering,and the correlation between adjacent or close areas would be higher;empirical results It shows that urbanization has an inhibitory effect on environmental pollution,that is,as the level of urbanization increases,the level of environmental pollution will decline.Foreign direct investment as a whole has promoted China’s economic growth,but has also exacerbated China’s environmental pollution,thereby negating the "pollution paradise hypothesis".The article concludes with the following policy implications from the results of the study: the introduction of high-quality foreign capital,while encouraging foreign investment in industries such as renewable energy and circular economy;accelerating the process of urbanization and the development of circular and economical cities;accelerating the upgrading of the industrial structure and reducing the proportion of the secondary industry,Increase the proportion of the tertiary industry.
