| Abstract Text | This study examines the impact of environmental regulations and policies on the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The latter effect has been widely discussed in the empirical and theoretical literature for over two decades, whereby varying findings were determined. With regard to the FDI host countries, both polluting effects of FDI were identified as well as reductions in CO2 emissions due to FDI. To date, only a few studies have incorporated additional circumstances to the relationship between FDI and CO2 emissions that could explain the inconsistency of the results. The aim of this study is to address this research gap, thus provide an explanation for these varying findings and to identify possible means of reducing CO2 emissions. |
