Empirical Analysis On The Impacts Of FDI On The China's Energy Consumption

Energy is the foundation of the national economy.With the national economy growth of a country, the size of the total energy consumption is rising. In general, the total energy consumption contains two parts :the industrial sector energy consumption and residential sectors energy consumption. For a developing country in the process of industrialization, the standard of living of its residents lags behind, so the residents sector demand for energy consumption is small,and the industrial sector demand for energy consumption is very large,and it determines a country's overall demand for the energy consumption. The impact of industrial sector energy consumption aggregate demand can be attributed mainly to two major categories: the first one is structural factors ,and the second one is technical factors.Many scholars believe that the transmission mechanism of the impact of foreign direct investment on the energy consumption of the host country includes two parts: the technology diffusion effect brought about by foreign direct investment impacts the energy efficiency and energy consumption;and foreign direct investment make the host country change and optimize the industrial structure,so indirectly effects the overall size of energy consumption of the host country .On the basis of recall of the relevant research both at home and abroad , this paper introduces with the host country of foreign direct investment related to the introduction of the economic theory, sums up the impact of foreign direct investment in the host country of the transmission mechanism of energy consumption, introduces the theory of energy consumption related, and then construct the theoretical framework of this article.This paper maks conducts a detailed analysis of the status quo and China's use of foreign direct investment and energy consumption,including the current use of foreign direct investment in the overall size, as well as the current status of energy consumption.And then, the paper carry on the empirical analysis on the foreign direct investment the impact on China's energy consumption in detail by using the existing time-series.Fanally, the paper presents the use of foreign direct investment in China to promote upgrading of the industrial structure, accelerate technological upgrading, improving energy efficiency in the use of specific measures and suggestions.
