| Since the reform and opening-up,China has been actively integrated into the international market,and outward foreign direct investment has been growing rapidly.With China’s economic development entering a new stage,outward foreign direct investment has entered a new level of development.At the same time,the global warming problem caused by carbon dioxide emission is becoming more and more serious.As a major carbon emitter,China is under more international accusations.In addition,coupled with the "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral" targets,China is under great pressure to reduce emissions.Therefore,under the background of the contradiction between the high-quality development of China’s OFDI and the emission reduction goal,can OFDI reduce China’s carbon emissions and achieve the emission reduction goal? And what is the specific path of the impact of OFDI on domestic carbon emissions? It has become an unavoidable and urgent problem in the process of comprehensively deepening reform and opening-up and promoting high-quality economic development.Based on China’s inter-provincial panel data from 2004 to 2019,this paper analyzes the impact of China’s OFDI on domestic carbon emissions.The full test consists of six chapters.Firstly,the first chapter focuses on the research background and significance of this paper,and systematically combs the relevant research literature in the second chapter,so as to put forward the research questions of this and explain the necessity and feasibility of discussing the impact of OFDI on domestic carbon emissions.Then it analyzes the influence mechanism from the theoretical level,and establishes the analysis path of economic scale effect,technology effect and industrial structure effect.Then it studies the current situation of OFDI and domestic carbon emissions,and constructs an analysis model of influencing factors of carbon emissions in Chapter 5 for empirical research.Finally,it puts forward corresponding policy suggestions for the development of China’s OFDI and carbon emission reduction.The results of this paper show that: first,China’s OFDI has a positive effect on domestic carbon emissions,but the growth rate of carbon emissions is slower than that of foreign direct investment.Second,the impact of OFDI on domestic carbon emissions has three mechanisms: economic scale effect,technology spillover effect and industrial structure effect.The scale effect is significantly positive,while the technology spillover effect and industrial structure effect are significantly negative.Third,there is a certain path dependence on domestic carbon emissions,and the carbon emissions in the previous period will promote the current period of carbon emissions. |
