ABSTRACT
The paper investigates the
internal mechanism of foreign direct investment (FDI) affecting carbon
productivity through mediators. Based on data of China from 2000 to 2016, the
mediation effect analysis method is used to build a single-step multiple mediator
model. The empirical results show that FDI has a significant effect on the
improvement of China’s carbon productivity, which is mainly achieved by three
mediators, namely, the industrial structure, the low carbon technology, and the
energy structure. Then, the paper puts forward countermeasures that how to use
FDI to improve China’s carbon productivity, so that “Beautiful China” can be
achieved.
