This research article analyzes trends in PM2.5 concentrations in five major Chinese cities between 1999-2008. The study finds that PM2.5 levels decreased overall during this period, especially in warmer seasons, but remained highest during evening hours and winter months. Additionally, PM2.5 concentrations were still above Chinese national air quality standards, particularly in northern regions during winter. Stronger government measures are needed to reduce emissions, especially in northern China during colder periods.

This research article analyzes trends in PM2.5 concentrations across five major Chinese cities from 1999-2008. It finds that PM2.5 levels decreased the most during warmer seasons and were highest in the evening and winter. Even with reductions, PM2.5 concentrations still exceed Chinese standards, especially in northern regions during winter. Stronger policies are needed to reduce energy use and optimize air quality, particularly in northern China in winter.

This document examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on renewable energy consumption in BRICS countries from 1990 to 2015, considering the moderating role of environmental regulation stringency. Using panel threshold regression models, it finds that FDI reduces renewable energy consumption when environmental regulation is less stringent, but increases renewable energy consumption when regulation is more stringent. The findings suggest stricter environmental policies can promote greater renewable energy use from FDI inflows. The study contributes an integrated framework analyzing the mechanisms through which FDI impacts renewable use under different regulatory conditions.

This research article analyzes the relationship between environmental regulation and carbon emissions reduction in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS countries) from 1995 to 2016. Using advanced econometric analysis, it finds that environmental regulations play a positive role in reducing carbon emissions. The results confirm that current environmental control measures in the BRICS countries are successfully achieving pollution reduction targets. Environmental regulations help establish an inverted U-shaped relationship between income and pollution, indicating that economic development alone cannot control emissions and requires environmental regulation.

This document summarizes an exploratory data analysis (EDA) of air pollution data from major Chinese cities conducted using IBM's Watson Analytics. The analysis found that northern Chinese cities generally had higher levels of air pollution than southern cities, as indicated by higher emissions, PM10 concentrations, and fewer days of good air quality. Population levels and industrial activity contributed more to air pollution than other factors like living emissions. The EDA process involved initial questions from Watson Analytics, developing new questions, experimenting with filters and visualizations, and refining the data.

This document analyzes the impact of environmental policy stringency on air quality using panel data from 23 OECD countries from 1990 to 2015. It finds that environmental policy stringency has a negative impact on CO2, NOx, and SOx emissions, but only a weak impact on PM2.5 emissions and exposure, potentially because PM2.5 has complex causes and policies have not emphasized PM2.5 restrictions. The study uses several methods to test the robustness of the results and determine the reliability of the conclusions.
Foreign Direct Investment and Environmental Sustainability in Nigeria
ABSTRACT: Empirical studies have focused more on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth while neglecting its impact on environmental degradation. FDI contributes to environmental hazards which are harmful and detrimental to human wellbeing. This study employed the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to analyze the impact of Foreign Direct Investment on environmental sustainability in Nigeria. Data were collected on CO2 emissions (proxying environmental degradation), FDI, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and population covering the period 1986 to 2015. The study found out that FDI contributes to CO2 emissions, hence environmental degradation. This is attributed to the activities of resource extracting industries which cause pollution in Nigeria. In addition, growth in GDP spurs environmental sustainability against a priori expectation due to the low level of Nigeria’s industrialisation. Furthermore, population growth leads to environmental degradation because majority of Nigerian citizens are poor and depend on the environment for their livelihood which leads to its depletion. The study therefore concludes that Foreign Direct Investment impedes environmental sustainability – giving credence to the pollution haven hypothesis. It is recommended amongst others that; first, the Nigerian Government should impose stringent laws to protect our environment and regulate the activities of international corporations and ensure that these laws are adhered to; second, environmental friendly equipments should be employed by multinational corporations and resource extracting industries; finally, adequate lands should be provided for housing, farm and resources productivities among the less privileged to achieve environmental sustainability

1. The study analyzed changes in air quality and population exposure to air pollution in 62 global cities resulting from COVID-19 lockdown measures.
2. It found reductions of 20-60% for NO2 and up to 40% for PM2.5 in some cities, but also increases for PM2.5 in other cities. Ozone increased in most cities due to decreased titration from other pollutants.
3. While lockdown measures were effective at reducing NO2 levels to comply with EU and WHO guidelines, PM2.5 reductions were more limited and regional cooperation is still needed to reach WHO PM guidelines due to factors like long-range transport and biomass burning.

The document analyzes the effectiveness of emission control measures implemented during the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Beijing, China. It finds that particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) concentrations were significantly lower during the APEC period compared to before and after, with PM2.5 reduced by 57% and PM10 by 51% versus pre-APEC levels. Estimated deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were also lowest during APEC. However, particulate levels rebounded after the measures ended. The controls were effective short-term but long-term improvements are still needed.
Green GDP as an indicator of environmental cost of economic growth in Ukraine
The article provides the results of the environmental adjustment of the traditional macroeconomic indicators for Ukraine taking into account depletion of natural capital, environmental degradation due to atmospheric pollution and governmental expenditures on environmental protection. For the first time the calculation of “Green GDP” and environmentally adjusted net domestic product (NDP) for Ukraine has been elaborated for the period 2001-2010. Depletion of natural capital has been estimated based on the official data on the net operational income and specific taxes of the extraction industry of Ukraine and applying the Hartwick's rule on the reinvestment of the resource rent. Environmental degradation due to atmospheric pollution has been estimated based on the results of the research on the economic cost of pollution from thermal power stations in Ukraine. The general conclusion is that the economic growth of Ukraine is significantly dependent on natural capital and has substantial environmental drawbacks.

Environmental Policy in Eastern Europe | SITE Development Day 2021The Forum for Research on Eastern Europe and Emerging Economies
The need for urgent climate action and energy transformation away from fossil fuels is widely acknowledged. Yet, current country plans for emission reductions do not reach the requirements to contain global warming under 2°C. What is worse, there is even reasonable doubt about the commitment to said plans given recent history and existing future investment plans into fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure development. This policy brief shortly summarizes the presentations and discussions at the SITE Development Day Conference, held on December 8, 2021, focusing on climate change policies and the challenge of a green energy transition in Eastern Europe.fenrg-10-947901.pdf
This document discusses the role of green financing and eco-innovation in improving energy efficiency in developed countries before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the relationship between green finance, eco-innovation, and energy intensity in Group of Seven (G7) economies from 1990 to 2020. The study finds that green finance and eco-innovation, as measured by environmental taxes and innovation factors, significantly reduce energy intensity. However, economic growth enhances energy intensity. The results indicate that promoting green finance and eco-innovation can help G7 countries achieve their energy efficiency goals.

An environmental impact assessment was conducted for a proposed integrated steel plant in Odisha, India. The summary finds:
1) Ambient air quality monitoring found existing PM10 and PM2.5 levels above national standards in the project area. Dispersion modeling also predicted the plant would significantly increase air pollution.
2) The EIA report underestimated health impacts by missing secondary particulate formation and incremental PM2.5 impacts. It also did not account for mercury or heavy metal emissions.
3) Based on estimated annual emissions of 9433 tons of PM, 13,131 tons of NOx, and 11,642 tons of SO2, a health impact assessment was conducted and found significant impacts from increased
17. TCI Global Climate Leadership Review 2013
This document summarizes The Climate Institute's Global Climate Leadership Review 2013 report. It finds that China has improved the most on the Low-Carbon Competitiveness Index due to major investments in clean energy and growth in high-tech exports. China alone accounted for almost half of global clean energy investments in 2010. Meanwhile, the US has fallen in the rankings partly due to declining clean energy investments and high-tech exports. The report examines which countries are best positioned to prosper in a low-carbon economy and provides an overview of global climate policy and action.

This document summarizes a journal article about the relationship between government policy, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and corporate innovation in China's cement industry. The article finds that market capitalization and access to financial resources are more significant drivers of innovation to reduce air pollution than government laws and CSR guidelines alone. While government intervention is still important, it should aim to align regulations with subsidies to help fund cement firms' innovation efforts. The article also provides background on CSR and innovation in China, noting CSR has evolved from an initial focus on economic responsibilities, to include labor issues, and now a broader integration of social and environmental responsibilities.
The Economic Growth and the Air Quality Deterioration
In this thesis, I used a panel data of the main air pollutants concentrations ( PM10, SO2 and NO2) in 31 provincial capital cities in China from year 2003 to 2013 to test EKC hypothesis and to analyze the relationship between air pollution and economic growth in different regions of China. The regression results suggest the inverted U-shaped relationship does not necessarily hold for a developing country like China, instead, multiple types of relationships exist for different regions.

Unveiling the driving forces affecting carbon dioxide emissions in the Philip...Open Access Research Paper
Human-induced carbon dioxide emissions are the major cause of climate change. Although the Philippines’ contribution to global climate change due to carbon emissions is negligible, the trend of carbon emissions from the energy sector is increasing, with emissions expected to quadruple by 2030. Thus, this paper investigates the population factors affecting per capita carbon dioxide emissions (CO2E) in the Philippines. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine and quantify the level of effect of its population factors such as life expectancy at birth (LEB), urban population (UP), population aging (PA), and energy use per capita (EUPC) that significantly influence the CO2E. The data used for the analysis were retrieved from the World Bank for the period 1985 – 2020. Results showed that LEB, UP, PA, and EUPC are identified as significant factors affecting CO2E. Among these significant factors, EUPC has the largest effect on CO2E (F = 338.81, p = 0.000). Additionally, PA exerts the largest influence as a driving force of CO2E from EUPC (F = 40.83, p = 0.000). The regression model based on the identified significant factors is robust and significant (F = 723.35, p = 0.000), explaining 98.94% of the variation in CO2 emissions in the Philippines. This suggests that the policymakers must consider these four variables in making actions towards reducing carbon emissions in the country.

THIIS IS THE PROPOSAL ALREADY WRITTEN
Synopsis of the Problem
In the recent past, a number of organizations have been adversely affected by the turnover rates that have been increasing progressively as from 2009. This has witnessed an increment in the number of organizations closing shop from approximately 1.8 million to more than 2 million between 2009 and 2012
(Larson, Lakin, & Bruininks, 1998)
. Aspects that include workforce recruitment and training costs, team dynamics and time restrictions in discovering and hiring newer talents have been adversely affected by the increase in worker turnover rates and have resulted in increment in expenditures. The unconstructive effects of the elevated employee turnover rates , therefore, informs the study on why the workers opt to desert they jobs even as organizational administrators strive to enhance the employee retention rates through increment in salaries and establishment of more favorable work milieus.
Statement of Purpose
This paper is therefore, written with the objective of analyzing the effect of various aspects, for instance, increased employee turnover rates, on the organization as well as their contribution to the increasing rates of employees opting to desert their jobs.
Description of the Action Research Project
This study will make use of two key research methodologies, namely; qualitative and quantitative research methodologies
(Barton, 2006)
. Given that the two methods facilitates the acknowledgement of rationale behind the increment in dissertation rates in addition to giving insight on how organization suffering from reduced employee retention rates function.
Reasons for the Proposal
Studies on the factors affecting employee retention and impacts of increased turnover rates have indicated that managers in organizations that have been acquired by another tend to dessert their jobs as a consequence of not being offered an opportunity and ample time to align to the novel organization
(Allen & Bryant, 2012)
. Additionally, workers tend to desert their jobs as a consequence of lack of faith owing to instability experienced by the mangers leaving their positions. This, therefore, leads to the question of what factors inf.

This document discusses the role of green financing and eco-innovation in improving energy efficiency in developed countries before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the relationship between green finance, eco-innovation, and energy intensity in Group of Seven (G7) economies from 1990 to 2020. The study finds that green finance and eco-innovation, as measured by environmental taxes and innovation factors, significantly reduce energy intensity. However, economic growth enhances energy intensity. The results indicate that promoting green finance and eco-innovation can help G7 countries achieve their energy efficiency goals.

An environmental impact assessment was conducted for a proposed integrated steel plant in Odisha, India. The summary finds:
1) Ambient air quality monitoring found existing PM10 and PM2.5 levels above national standards in the project area. Dispersion modeling also predicted the plant would significantly increase air pollution.
2) The EIA report underestimated health impacts by missing secondary particulate formation and incremental PM2.5 impacts. It also did not account for mercury or heavy metal emissions.
3) Based on estimated annual emissions of 9433 tons of PM, 13,131 tons of NOx, and 11,642 tons of SO2, a health impact assessment was conducted and found significant impacts from increased
17. TCI Global Climate Leadership Review 2013
This document summarizes The Climate Institute's Global Climate Leadership Review 2013 report. It finds that China has improved the most on the Low-Carbon Competitiveness Index due to major investments in clean energy and growth in high-tech exports. China alone accounted for almost half of global clean energy investments in 2010. Meanwhile, the US has fallen in the rankings partly due to declining clean energy investments and high-tech exports. The report examines which countries are best positioned to prosper in a low-carbon economy and provides an overview of global climate policy and action.

This document summarizes a journal article about the relationship between government policy, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and corporate innovation in China's cement industry. The article finds that market capitalization and access to financial resources are more significant drivers of innovation to reduce air pollution than government laws and CSR guidelines alone. While government intervention is still important, it should aim to align regulations with subsidies to help fund cement firms' innovation efforts. The article also provides background on CSR and innovation in China, noting CSR has evolved from an initial focus on economic responsibilities, to include labor issues, and now a broader integration of social and environmental responsibilities.
The Economic Growth and the Air Quality Deterioration
In this thesis, I used a panel data of the main air pollutants concentrations ( PM10, SO2 and NO2) in 31 provincial capital cities in China from year 2003 to 2013 to test EKC hypothesis and to analyze the relationship between air pollution and economic growth in different regions of China. The regression results suggest the inverted U-shaped relationship does not necessarily hold for a developing country like China, instead, multiple types of relationships exist for different regions.
Research on the Factors that Influence Carbon Emission in China
1) The document analyzes factors that influence carbon emissions in China using regression analysis.
2) It finds that GDP, energy efficiency, energy structure, and industry structure have a significant impact on carbon emissions in China.
3) The government should emphasize advanced technology development and optimizing industrial structure to reduce carbon emissions.

Unveiling the driving forces affecting carbon dioxide emissions in the Philip...Open Access Research Paper
Human-induced carbon dioxide emissions are the major cause of climate change. Although the Philippines’ contribution to global climate change due to carbon emissions is negligible, the trend of carbon emissions from the energy sector is increasing, with emissions expected to quadruple by 2030. Thus, this paper investigates the population factors affecting per capita carbon dioxide emissions (CO2E) in the Philippines. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine and quantify the level of effect of its population factors such as life expectancy at birth (LEB), urban population (UP), population aging (PA), and energy use per capita (EUPC) that significantly influence the CO2E. The data used for the analysis were retrieved from the World Bank for the period 1985 – 2020. Results showed that LEB, UP, PA, and EUPC are identified as significant factors affecting CO2E. Among these significant factors, EUPC has the largest effect on CO2E (F = 338.81, p = 0.000). Additionally, PA exerts the largest influence as a driving force of CO2E from EUPC (F = 40.83, p = 0.000). The regression model based on the identified significant factors is robust and significant (F = 723.35, p = 0.000), explaining 98.94% of the variation in CO2 emissions in the Philippines. This suggests that the policymakers must consider these four variables in making actions towards reducing carbon emissions in the country.

THIIS IS THE PROPOSAL ALREADY WRITTEN
Synopsis of the Problem
In the recent past, a number of organizations have been adversely affected by the turnover rates that have been increasing progressively as from 2009. This has witnessed an increment in the number of organizations closing shop from approximately 1.8 million to more than 2 million between 2009 and 2012
(Larson, Lakin, & Bruininks, 1998)
. Aspects that include workforce recruitment and training costs, team dynamics and time restrictions in discovering and hiring newer talents have been adversely affected by the increase in worker turnover rates and have resulted in increment in expenditures. The unconstructive effects of the elevated employee turnover rates , therefore, informs the study on why the workers opt to desert they jobs even as organizational administrators strive to enhance the employee retention rates through increment in salaries and establishment of more favorable work milieus.
Statement of Purpose
This paper is therefore, written with the objective of analyzing the effect of various aspects, for instance, increased employee turnover rates, on the organization as well as their contribution to the increasing rates of employees opting to desert their jobs.
Description of the Action Research Project
This study will make use of two key research methodologies, namely; qualitative and quantitative research methodologies
(Barton, 2006)
. Given that the two methods facilitates the acknowledgement of rationale behind the increment in dissertation rates in addition to giving insight on how organization suffering from reduced employee retention rates function.
Reasons for the Proposal
Studies on the factors affecting employee retention and impacts of increased turnover rates have indicated that managers in organizations that have been acquired by another tend to dessert their jobs as a consequence of not being offered an opportunity and ample time to align to the novel organization
(Allen & Bryant, 2012)
. Additionally, workers tend to desert their jobs as a consequence of lack of faith owing to instability experienced by the mangers leaving their positions. This, therefore, leads to the question of what factors inf.

From this perspective, social life entails the mutual exchange of desirable

Page 176
theory
—are most often used by
relationship
scientists, so I'll feature them here. Let's first consider the central elements of social exchange.
Rewards and Costs
The rewards of interactions are the gratifying experiences and commodities we obtain through our contact with others. They come in very different forms ranging from impersonal benefits, such as the directions you can get from strangers when you're lost, to personal intimacies, such as acceptance and support from someone you love. I'll use the term
reward
to refer to anything within an interaction that is desirable and welcome and that brings enjoyment or fulfillment to the recipient.
In contrast,
costs
are punishing, undesirable experiences. They can involve financial expenditures, such as buying dinner for your date, or actual injuries, such as split lips. However, some of the most important costs of intimate interaction are psychological burdens: uncertainty about where a relationship is headed, frustration over your partner's imperfections, and regret about all the things you don't get to do because you're in that relationship (Sedikides et al., 1994). All of the diverse consequences of interaction that are frustrating or distressing are costs.
We'll summarize the rewards and costs associated with a particular interaction with the term
outcome,
which describes the net profit or loss a person encounters, all things considered. Adding up all the rewards and costs involved,
Outcomes = Rewards − Costs

Rewards
The various commodities and rewards people exchange in their relationships have no price tags, and partners sometimes disagree about what an exchange is worth. In a study by Wills et al., (1974), seven married couples kept track of their behavioral exchanges for 2 weeks. The rewards they exchanged either involved tasks and responsibilities (such as taking out the garbage) or emotion and affection (such as saying, “I love you”). When the spouses rated their pleasure with their partners' behavior, wives particularly appreciated their husbands' affectionate behavior, whereas husbands liked their wives' task-oriented help. The sexes apparently attached different values to such actions as doing the dis.

Scenario
You have been asked to be the project manager for the development of an information technology (IT) project. The system to be developed will allow a large company to coordinate and maintain records of the professional development of its employees. The company has over 30,000 employees who are located in four sites: Florida, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas. The system needs to allow employees to locate and schedule professional development activities that are relevant to their positions. Sophisticated search capabilities are required, and the ability to add scheduled events to the employees’ calendars is desired. The system needs to support social networking to allow employees to determine who is attending conferences and events. This will promote fostering relationships and ensure coverage of conferences that are considered of high importance.
Once an activity has been completed, employees will use the system to submit the documentation. The system should support notifications to management personnel whenever their direct reports have submitted documentation. The system should also notify employees if their deadline to complete professional-development requirements is approaching and is not yet satisfied.
Project Scope Management Plan
For the given scenario, create a project scope management plan that will detail how the project scope will be defined, managed, and controlled to prevent scope creep. The plan may also include how the scope will be communicated to all stakeholders.
Project Scope
After you have the project scope management plan developed, define the project scope.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Title:Research article: Trends of PM2.5 concentrations in China: A long term approachAuthors:Fontes, Tânia a, b, c, ∗ Li, Peilin a Barros, Nelson b Zhao, Pengjun aAffiliation:a Centre for Urban Planning and Transport Studies, Peking University, Beijing, China b CIAGEB - Global Change, Energy, Environment and Bioengineering Center, University Fernando Pessoa, Porto, Portugal c INESC TEC – INESC Technology and Science and FEUP- Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Porto, PortugalSource:In Journal of Environmental Management 1 July 2017 196:719-732Publisher:Elsevier LtdAbstract:The fast economic growth of China along the last two decades has created a strong impact on the environment. The occurrence of heavy haze pollution days is the most visible effect. Although many researchers have studied such problem, a high number of spatio-temporal limitations in the recent studies were identified. From our best knowledge the long trends of PM2.5 concentrations were not fully investigated in China, in particular the year-to-year trends and the seasonal and daily cycles. Therefore, in this work the PM2.5 concentrations collected from automatic monitors from five urban sites located in megacities with different climatic zones in China were analysed: Beijing (40°N), Chengdu (31°N), Guangzhou (23°N), Shanghai (31°N) and Shenyang (43°N). For an inter-comparison a meta-analysis was carried out. An evaluation conducted since 1999 demonstrates that PM2.5 concentrations have been reduced until 2008, period which match with the occurrence of the Olympic Games. However, a seasonal analysis highlight that
- 2. such decrease occurs mostly during warmer seasons than cold seasons. During winter PM2.5 concentrations are typically 1.3 to 2.7 higher than in summer. The average daily cycle shows that the lowest and highest PM2.5 concentrations often occurs in the afternoon and evening hours respectively. Such daily variations are mostly driven by the daily variation of the boundary layer depth and emissions. Although the PM2.5 levels have showing signs of improvement, even during the warming season the values are still too high in comparison with the annual environmental standards of China (35 μg m−3). Moreover, during cold seasons the north regions have values twice higher than this limit. Thus, to fulfil these standards the governmental mitigation measures need to be strongly reinforced in order to optimize the daily living energy consumption, primarily in the north regions of China and during the winter periods. •Long trends of PM2.5 concentrations were investigated in 5 Chinese megacities.•PM2.5 have decreased mostly during warmer seasons.•Highest PM2.5 are usually observed during evening hours and winter seasons.•PM2.5 decreased but values are still too high in comparison with Chinese standards.•New measures are needed namely during winter and in the north Chinese regions.Document Type:ArticleISSN:0301- 4797DOI:10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.03.074Accession Number:S030147971730289XCopyright:© 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Because environmental performance is related with economic development, FAI and FDI may affect environment indirectly through their impacts on economic growth. In this study, the direct and indirect effects of both FAI
- 4. and FDI on China's environmental quality are distinguished and separately estimated for the first time with a carefully designed framework of a two-equation model. Because most economic activities and environmental pollutions occur in the urban areas, a panel data of 112 Chinese cities for the period 2002–2015 is utilized. Several spatial factors are also introduced to control for the potential spatial correlations in economic development and pollutant emissions. The estimation results indicate that there exist apparent differences in the environmental effects of FAI and FDI. The direct effects of FAI on SO2 emissions are significant positive and dominate the negative indirect effects. By contrast, the direct, indirect and total effects of FDI on pollutant emissions are all negative. Therefore, overall speaking, well designed and targeted policies should be formulated to reduce the negative environmental impacts of FAI and to increase the positive influences of FDI on environment. •Influences of domestic and foreign investment on environmental quality in China are investigated.•City-level panel data of fixed asset investment (FAI) and foreign direct investment (FDI) are used.•Spatial correlations in economic development and pollutant emissions are controlled for.•The positive direct effects of FAI on SO2 emissions dominate the negative indirect effects.•The direct, indirect and total effects of FDI on both pollutant emissions are all negative.Document Type:ArticleISSN:0301- 4215DOI:10.1016/j.enpol.2017.05.055Accession Number:S0301421517303464Copyright:© 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
