Abstract

On the basis of new geographical economics, this paper considering the spatial factors, the interaction of FDI and environmental regulation and their lag effect, constructed a spatial Durbin model, using the panel data of China's 30 provincial panel data from 2004 to 2014, empirical analysis of the relationship between FDI, environmental regulation and the upgrading of the industrial structure. The results showed that: FDI, environmental regulation has significant spatial spillover effects on the industrial structure upgrading, and the interaction between environmental regulation and FDI is negative, which confirms the evidence of the existence of "pollution heaven hypothesis" in China. Finally, we give the corresponding policy recommendations, in order to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the upgrading of China's industrial structure.
