摘　　要：This paper aims to explore the determinants of C〇2 emissions in Laos by accounting for the significant role played by foreign direct investment(FDI)in influencing C 02 emissions during the period 1990-2017.We apply a Johansen co-integration testing approach to investigate the presence of co-integration,and the empirical findings underscore the presence of a long-run co-integration relationship between CO2 emissions,FDI,per capita GDP,and industrial structure.We also employ an error-correcting model to examine the short-term dynamic effect of FDI on CO2 emissions.The empirical results show that FDI has a significant short-term dynamic effect on changes in CO2 emissions,indicating that the relationship between FDI and CO2 emissions is an inverted U-shaped curve.This is a validation of the EKC.Changes of FDI,per capita GDP,and industrial structure increase CO2 emissions.Based on the analysis results,this paper puts forward policy suggestions emphasizing the need for both Laotian policymakers and Chinese investors to improve eco-environmental quality.在全球对气候变暖和碳减排日益关注的背景下,研究外商直接投资对碳排放的影响具有重要意义。本文基于1990-2017年的数据,运用Johansen协整检验方法和误差修正模型实证检验了外商直接投资(FDI)对老挝碳排放的影响,实证结果显示:FDI与老挝碳排放具有长期的均衡关系;FDI增长在短期内将会增加老挝的碳排放,FDI与老挝碳排放的关系支持环境库兹涅茨曲线变化,即倒“U”型变化。中国是老挝最重要的外商投资国家,老挝是共建“绿色丝绸之路”的重要节点国家,中国在对老挝当前和未来的投资过程中应进一步加强生态环境保护,提升老挝资源环境承栽力.
