国际贸易、外国直接投资、经济增长对环境质量的影响——基于环境库兹涅茨曲线研究的回顾与展望

环境库兹涅茨曲线(EKC)是环境经济学的一个热点问题,笔者沿着其研究脉络,重点探讨了基于国际贸易、外国直接投资的EKC的研究现状。分析表明:虽然许多学者对相关领域进行了富有成效的研究,但EKC方法本身在指标选取、经济分析和计量方法等方面存在一些缺憾,未来的研究应侧重于对国际贸易、外国直接投资与环境反馈作用、经济活动与生态系统演进等领域的研究,并在数学手段和模型上加以改进。

The Impact of Economic Growth on Environment under Opening Condition

Recently, Environmental Kuznets Curve is emerging as a new hotspot of research in environmental economics. This paper provides an overview of the EKC background history, theoretic base, and empirical studies focusing on the world trade and FDI, Although the theory of EKC is developing rapidly, there are a few of problems on model, data, index and analysis approach. Further more, we should explore it from some aspects, such as the relationship between world trade, FDI and environmental deterioration, economic grow and ecological system. Besides, we should make some progress on the econometric models and theoretical explanations.
