Abstract
The problem that whether FDI can exacerbate China's haze is very worthy of attention. This research used the SLM to test the space relationship between FDI and haze in China. The results showed as follows: PM2.5, PM10 and FDI in China have strong spatial auto-correlation and spatial clustering phenomenon; FDI has a negative effect on Chinese haze pollution, in which an increase of 1% in FDI, the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 will decrease 0.0064% - 0.1897% and 0.04% - 0.1573%; GDP and haze is a relationship of N-form, Population size, urbanization level, environmental regulation, construction area, and energy consumption will exacerbate concentration of haze. Therefore, the pollution haven hypothesis on FDI is not yet established in China. Therefore China can continue to increase the intensity of FDI investment in environmental protection industry to governance haze pollution.
