- Abstract
Based on the sample data of 37 European countries from 2006 to 2018, this paper conducted an empirical study on the impact of environmental regulations of host countries on China’s OFDI from the perspective of differentiated investment motivation. The findings were as follows: firstly, regarding the overall sample, environmental regulations of European countries had a significant inhibiting effect on China’s OFDI; secondly, China had obvious natural resource-seeking motivation, market-seeking motivation and strategic asset-seeking motivation for European countries’ OFDI, and the level of environmental regulation in host countries would affect the investment flow guided by different investment motivations. Specifically, China’s OFDI of European countries was mainly guided by the different motivation of seeking natural resources, the vast market size of the host countries also had a significant promoting effect on China’s OFDI of Europe, and the technology reserve factor of the host countries had a significant positive impact on investment.
