In this paper we search for pollution haven consistent evidence within China. Using a province level data set and three different measures of environmental stringency, we investigate whether inward foreign direct investment (FDI) is attracted to those regions with relatively low environmental regulations. Our results are consistent with pollution haven seeking behaviour by foreign investors. In...

This paper examines whether lax environmental policy and abundant natural resources both attract foreign direct investment (FDI). At first, their potential effects are discussed using arguments from the pollution haven hypothesis and the natural resource curse. Using cross-country Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regressions and robustness checks like Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares (I...

This study explores the dynamic effect of non-renewable energy, renewable economic growth, and foreign direct investment on environmental degradation in twenty selected African countries over period 2000–2015. We have adopted Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis Pollution Haven/Halo simultaneously. In first stage, this paper performs cross-independence test found cross-sectional dependence ca...

The literature on the impact of policy uncertainty climate change has grown rapidly in recent years as policymakers and researchers have become increasingly concerned about potential adverse effects environmental sustainability. This study aims to investigate economic (EPU), GDP per capita, renewable energy consumption (REC), foreign direct investment (FDI) sustainability from perspectives Kuzn...

This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investments, energy consumption and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Turkey for period 1974-2015 by using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with a structural break. FMOLS DOLS estimations are employed to check robustness model. The findings reveal long-run relationship between variables, show that FDI contributes positively emiss...

This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and corruption on environmental pollution in Tunisia over period 1984–2014 by applying an autoregressive distributed lag model. Our results revealed existence Environmental Kuznets Curve Tunisian case. The haven hypothesis postulates that polluting industrial activity developed countries is shifting to developing with less st...

This study examines the causal relationship between air pollution ( AP) and outward foreign direct investment OFDI) in China by applying bootstrap rolling-window full- subsample Granger causality test a sample from 2013 to 2022. We find that AP negatively influenced OFDI 2016, while this influence became positive at end of 2019. The results confirm coexistence haven hypothesis, factor endowment...
