The Yangtze River Delta

Foreign direct investment and industrial upgrading are not only important driving forces to promote sustainable economic development, but also the objective needs of a country to deeply participate in international division of labor and competition. Firstly, this paper summarizes the literature at home and abroad, and puts forward the research problems and research ideas. Secondly, it makes a theoretical analysis of the impact of foreign direct investment on the upgrading of industrial structure. Thirdly, it analyzes the current situation of foreign direct investment and industrial structure upgrading. Finally, it analyzes the main problems of China's foreign direct investment affecting the upgrading of industrial structure, and puts forward targeted countermeasures and suggestions.

The Impact

With the development of economic globalization, some local environmental pollution has become a global environmental problem through international trade and transnational investment. This paper selects the annual data of 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2017 and adopts exploratory spatial data analysis methods to explore the spatial agglomeration characteristics of haze pollution in China’s provinces. Furthermore, this paper constructs a spatial econometric model to test the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and industrial structure transformation on haze pollution. The research results show that the high-high concentration area of haze pollution in China has shifted from the central and western regions to the eastern region and from inland regions to coastal regions. When FDI increases by 1%, haze pollution in local and neighboring areas will be reduced by 0.066% and 0.3538%, respectively. However, the impact of FDI on haze pollution is heterogeneous in different stages of economic development. FDI can improve the rationalization level of industrial structure, and then inhibit the haze pollution. However, FDI inhibits the upgrading level of industrial structure to a certain extent, and then aggravates the haze pollution. The research in this paper provides an important decision-making basis for coordinating the relationship between FDI and environmental pollution and realizing green development.

Abstract Environmental pollution is becoming more and more prevalent in China, accompanied by the excessive expansion of the country's foreign direct investment in the scale of resource-based industries. This article uses the panel data of 276 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2016 to estimate the impact of environmental regulation on foreign direct investment by employing the Spatial Durbin model. The empirical results show that: firstly, environmental regulation, and foreign direct investment have an obvious spatial correlation. Secondly, environmental regulation significantly inhibits foreign direct investment and has significant negative space spillover. Thirdly, non-eastern cities' environmental regulation has significantly greater inhibitory effects on foreign direct investment than eastern cities, and the key cities' environmental regulation has greater inhibitory effects than ordinary cities. Finally, from the perspective of industrial upgrading and resource configuration, environmental regulation has significantly promoted foreign direct investment and have significant negative space spillovers. Therefore, the reasonable use of environmental regulatory measures through industrial upgrading and resource configuration to attract clean, capital-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises and to achieve the effect of "decontamination and clean" for foreign-funded enterprises is critical.

Eclectic Paradigm

Under the national policy goal of increasing labor income and increasing employment rate, the service industry is expected to be a powerful engine for stimulating economic growth, optimizing industrial structure and absorbing employment, while foreign direct investment is playing an important role in promoting industrial upgrading and improving efficiency. This article first analyzes the trade effects of multinational companies in the service industry based on monopolistic advantage theory, product life cycle theory, internalization theory and the eclectic paradigm of international production, and then introduces the development status of foreign direct investment in China’s service industry. The study found that under the premise of ensuring the national economy and social security, corresponding policies should be adopted in the introduction of investment in specific industries to correctly guide the flow of foreign capital so that it can serve to optimize the industrial structure of the service industry.

The Impact

The paper presents the results of a study that attempts to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on energy intensity by constructing panel regression model and panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model. Based on panel data from 1990 to 2014, this study contributes to conduct the impact of FDI on energy intensity from the perspective of emerging country, including BRICS and non-BRICS countries, and investigates the channels of influence of FDI on energy intensity. Besides that, we intend to employ the PSTR model to reveal the nonlinear mechanism of FDI on energy intensity. Our findings reveal several key conclusions: first, FDI exerts insignificant impact on energy intensity in the emerging countries. Second, the impact of FDI on energy intensity is heterogeneous between BRICS and non-BRICS countries. Third, innovation capacity plays various moderating effects on the relationship of FDI and energy intensity among different types of emerging countries. Furthermore, the nonlinear mechanism of FDI on energy intensity is realized with industrial structure as the transition variable, which plays a different effect on the impact of FDI on energy intensity between different samples.
