The impact of foreign direct investment on the ecological footprints of nations
Open accessAbstract
We study the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the rate of exhaustion of bioproductive physical land. We test for differential ecological performance of FDI in developed vs. developing countries, as well as in “clean” vs. “dirty” sectors. We examine the impact of six sector-level FDI flows on four ecological footprints (EF): Consumption EF, Production EF, Imports EF, and Exports EF, compiled by the Global Footprint Network. We estimate a dynamic panel model incorporating an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and differentiating across country development levels. The findings are intriguing. First, High Income countries tend to experience a consumption-related ecological impact of FDI, whereas Low- and Middle-Income countries tend to experience a production-related ecological impact of FDI. Second, the burden of FDI-generated Exports EF is born disproportionately by Middle Income countries; High Income countries bear none (evidence of FDI ecological haven). Third, in High Income countries, financial services FDI reduces the Production EF (evidence of FDI ecological halo). Finally, non-financial services FDI is more ecologically damaging than manufacturing FDI.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
