| Abstract | Environmental regulation is a crucial tool for government intervention in the field of green technology innovation. It can boost an enterprise's competitiveness and encourage green technology innovation, both of which have a major effect on luring foreign investment. This paper first systematically elaborates on the relationship between environmental regulation, foreign direct investment (FDI), and green total factor productivity (GTFP) and then combines panel data from Chinese cities to empirically test these relationships using various methods, such as the mediation effect model, two-stage least squares, and difference-in-differences method. The study found that environmental regulation significantly boosts FDI and GTFP. FDI helps to improve GTFP, and environmental regulation can impact GTFP indirectly through FDI. The way that FDI and environmental regulations affect GTFP demonstrates regional variation. Large cities with high economic growth gain more from environmental regulation. FDI has a stronger promotion effect on GTFP in medium- and small-sized cities than in large-sized cities, and it does not significantly impact GTFP in cities with high levels of economic development or in the eastern region. |
