摘要：This paper examines the impact of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) on low-carbon industrialization in Africa, within the context of China's growing economic ties with the continent. The analysis relies on a panel dataset comprising Chinese greenfield FDI into the manufacturing sectors of 34 African countries from 2003 to 2014, employing the Lewbel Instrumental Variable approach to address potential endogeneity issues. The results show that these Chinese FDI inflows increased industrial carbon emissions in Africa. This adverse effect is particularly pronounced when Chinese FDI targets labor and resource-intensive manufacturing sectors. We attribute this finding to two mechanisms: the sector concentration on labor and resource-intensive manufacturing and the manufacturing processes of Chinese FDI characterized by suboptimal de facto implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards compared to the international best practices. Additional analysis underscores the potential moderating influence of FDI-host countries' environmental regulations, albeit statistically insignificant, highlighting the legacy of ineffective institutional enforcement that is prevalent on the Africa continent.
本文探讨了中国外国直接投资（FDI）对非洲低碳工业化的影响，背景是中国与非洲日益增长的经济联系。该分析依赖于一个面板数据集，涵盖2003年至2014年间中国对34个非洲国家制造业的绿色外资，采用Lewbel工具变量方法解决潜在的内生性问题。结果显示，这些中国外商直接投资增加了非洲工业碳排放。当中国外商直接投资针对劳动力和资源密集型制造业时，这种不利影响尤为明显。我们将这一发现归因于两个机制：行业集中于劳动力和资源密集型制造业，以及中国外国直接投资制造过程在环境、社会与治理（ESG）标准的实际执行方面相较于国际最佳实践不佳。进一步分析强调了外国直接投资东道国环境法规的潜在调节作用，尽管统计学上不显著，凸显了非洲大陆普遍存在的制度执法无效遗留问题。
