Abstract

China's economy has achieved rapid development since the reform and opening up, with an average annual growth rate around 10%.At the same time, energy consumption is also rising. This paper investigates the relationship between energy consumption and foreign direct investment(FDI) by adopting a panel data of 30 provinces in China during 1995??"2014 to estimate the panel smooth transition regression model(PSTR).It is found that energy consumption and FDI has significant non-linearity relationship. And with the threshold variable industrial structure changes, there is smooth transition between high and low regime. Last of all, reflecting on the defects of the current economic mechanism, we propose some policy implication to achieve the energy-saving goal.
