Foreign direct investment, new urbanization and China's carbon emissions

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the inter-provincial panel data from 2006 to 2016, a new urbanization evaluation system is constructed and the comprehensive level of China's new urbanization development is measured by the method of entropy. By establishing a regression model with urbanization level as the threshold variable, the non-linear threshold effect of FDI on China's carbon emissions is empirically tested. The results show that the impact of FDI on China's carbon emissions has obvious double threshold effect on urbanization level.

Key words: new urbanization level, foreign direct investment, carbon emissions, threshold effect
