Analysis Of The Influence Of Foreign Trade And FDI On Carbon Emission

Since the policy of China's reform and opening up was implemented in 1978,economic development has created a "Chinese-style miracle" and China gradually becomes the major country in foreign trade and foreign direct investment in the world.However,at the same time,China's domestic energy shortage and environmental pollution are also growing.Many signs and related studies show that there is a close relationship between environmental problems and.economic growth.Among many environmental issues,global warming has been listed as an important issue in various countries in recent years.This has evolved from a simple environmental issue to a complex one that involves many aspects such as politics,economy,society,trade and investment in the world problem.As an industrialized developing country in the transitional phase,China has long been characterized by high energy consumption and high emission of its trade products.Foreign direct investment has also been concentrated in the high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries.The domestic carbon dioxide emissions have been on the rise.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the influence of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on the performance of China's carbon dioxide emissions under the economic open environment.This article is divided into six chapters.In the first chapter,the introductory part elaborates the background and significance of the topic selection,definition of related concepts,research objectives,methods,structure,as well as the research innovation and deficiencies.In the second chapter,the related literatures at home and abroad are reviewed from three aspects:the impact of foreign trade on carbon emissions,the impact of foreign direct investment on carbon emissions and the impact of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emissions.The third chapter describes the temporal and spatial characteristics of China's foreign trade,foreign direct investment and the development of carbon dioxide emissions through the way of drawing and list.From the theoretical analysis,the fourth chapter divides the effects of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emissions into technical effects,economies of scale and structural effects,explains the ways of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emissions theoretically.The fifth chapter has carried on the empirical analysis.China's foreign trade data(divided into total import volume IM and total export volume EX),foreign direct investment data,carbon emission data C,structural effect index S,technology effect index T and scale effect index Y,are selected from 30 provinces of China in 2000 to 2015.According to the division standard of the National Bureau of Statistics,divide 30 provinces into three regions,build a multi,index panel data model to analyze the impact of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emissions.In addition,considering the possible hysteresis effect of foreign direct investment on carbon emissions,a regression model with lagged effects is added to the empirical analysis part to investigate whether the influence of foreign direct investment on carbon emissions lags behind.The sixth chapter of the policy part puts forward the corresponding policy recommendations.According to 'the research of this paper,the main conclusions are as follows:China's carbon emissions are huge and show clear regional characteristics.Foreign trade and foreign direct investment in China's various regions have a certain impact on carbon emissions and there are obvious regional differences.According to the theoretical analysis,the impact of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emissions is manifested in the comprehensive effects of scale effect,technology effect and structural effect.According to the regression results of measurement,exports have a significant positive effect on carbon emissions in the whole country,the eastern region and the central region.In the case of other conditions unchanged,the higher the total exports,the larger the carbon emissions in the corresponding regions.However,The correlation is not significant in the western region;imports have a significant negative effect on carbon emissions across the country,and carbon emissions will decrease as the total national import increases,but for the central region,the increase in imports will increase carbon emissions.However,in the eastern and western regions,the imports have no significant effect.The foreign direct investment has positive and negative effects on carbon emissions,there are obvious regional differences.On a national scale,foreign direct investment has a weak negative effect on carbon emissions.For the central and western regions,carbon emissions will increase with the expansion of foreign direct investment.In the eastern region,there is no significant correlation between direct foreign investment and carbon emissions.
