Study On The Impact Of Foreign Direct Investment On Carbon Emission Of Logistics Industry In Jiangsu Province

Since the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference,the term "low-carbon economy" has gradually entered people’s view,and the development of low-carbon economy has become a trend that has attracted the attention of countries around the world.As a strategic,basic and pioneering industry for national economic development,the logistics industry plays an important role in meeting the rapid economic growth,and we need to keep pace with the times and accelerate the green and low-carbon process.At the same time,under the condition of economic globalization,China vigorously promotes foreign investment policy.Although the introduction of foreign direct investment can promote economic development and bring advanced technology,it will also produce a large amount of exhaust gas and carbon dioxide,which will have a bad impact on the ecological environment.Jiangsu Province is not only one of the fastest growing provinces in China’s open economy,but also one of the regions with the highest utilization of foreign investment in China.Based on this,this paper tries to study the impact of foreign direct investment in Jiangsu province on carbon emissions in logistics industry.Firstly,this paper compares relevant studies by domestic and foreign scholars and briefly discusses the theoretical background and effects of the impact of FDI on carbon emissions.Secondly,a detailed analysis of the development of foreign direct investment and the current situation of carbon emissions in Jiangsu province is presented.Next,the gray correlation method is used to analyze the inter-industry correlation between different industries and the logistics industry in Jiangsu province.Then,on the basis of the used STIRPAT carbon emission model and Kaya’s constant equation,a new carbon emission model of logistics industry in Jiangsu province is constructed by combining the development characteristics of logistics industry.Finally,the variables selected for the new model are all in logarithmic form,and the latest model obtained is studied empirically.The main conclusions are:(1)The top three industries strongly associated with the logistics industry in Jiangsu Province are: agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry and fishery,industry,and wholesale,retail,trade and catering.(2)The overall FDI in Jiangsu Province,FDI in agriculture,forestry and fishery,FDI in industry in Jiangsu Province,and FDI in wholesale and retail trade and catering in Jiangsu Province have a negative impact on carbon emissions in logistics industry in Jiangsu Province,and only FDI in logistics industry in Jiangsu Province has a positive relationship with carbon emissions in logistics industry in Jiangsu Province.Only FDI in logistics in Jiangsu Province has a positive relationship with carbon emissions in logistics in Jiangsu Province,while FDI in logistics in Jiangsu Province,FDI in agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry and fishery in Jiangsu Province,and FDI in wholesale,retail,trade and catering in Jiangsu Province have a negative relationship with carbon emissions intensity in logistics in Jiangsu Province.(3)The GDP,energy consumption intensity,and the number of employees at the end of the year of different industries in Jiangsu Province have different degrees of influence on the carbon emissions and carbon intensity of logistics industry in Jiangsu Province.In summary,this paper proposes the following policy recommendations:(1)Pay attention to the relationship between foreign direct investment and carbon emissions,optimize its investment structure,and achieve both "quality and quantity";(2)adjust the energy consumption structure of each industry;(3)improve the quality of industry employees;and(4)modernize logistics in Jiangsu Province.Figure 18 Table 29 Reference 78...
