Abstract:

Based on the spatial correlation of environmental pollution between adjacent regions, the new nonparametric spatial lag models are constructed to study the impacts of economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI) on the environmental pollution in China. The results indicate that: There exists an inverted "U" shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution and the turning point of the curve is large; there exists a "U" shaped relationship between foreign direct investment and environmental pollution while the turning point of the curve is small.
