本文重复了 Sapkota 和 Bastola（2017 年）的估计，并为拉丁美洲的外国直接投资 (FDI)、收入和环境污染之间的关系提供了更多见解。为此，我们解决了经济发展和环境污染方面的异质性，这是保留国家集团的特征。我们对 14 个拉丁美洲国家 1980 年至 2010 年期间进行的面板分位数回归分析表明，FDI 对污染没有明显影响，而 EKC 假设对于低收入国家组则受到质疑。虽然我们的结果部分验证了环境库兹涅茨曲线 (EKC) 假说，但它们与 Sapkota 和 Bastola (2017) 报告的污染避风港假说 (PHH) 的结果形成对比。 (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
This paper replicates estimates according to Sapkota and Bastola (2017) and provides additional insights for the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), income and environmental pollution in Latin America. To this end, we address the heterogeneity in terms of economic development and environmental pollution, heterogeneity that characterize the retained group of countries. Our panel quantiles regression analysis, conducted for 14 Latin America countries over the period 1980 to 2010, shows that FDI has no clear impact on pollution, while the EKC hypothesis is called into question for the low-income group of countries. While our results partially validate the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, they contrast with those reported by Sapkota and Bastola (2017) for the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH).
