The Impact of Outward Foreign Direct Investment on Carbon Emission toward China’s Sustainable Development

It is of practical significance to evaluate whether enhancing outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) can promote carbon mitigation under the new urbanization background toward China’s sustainable development and carbon neutrality. The impact of OFDI on carbon emissions is investigated from the dua...
