Energy intensity and foreign direct investment: A Chinese city-level study (2013, background): “For example, Eskeland and Harrison (2003) and Cole et al. (2008) show that foreign ownership is associated with more energyefficient production in the former's analysis of manufacturing plants in Cote d'Ivoire, Mexico and Venezuela and the latter's study of Ghana.”
Financial development and environmental performance: evidence from China* (2010, background): “By comparison, the pollution halo hypothesis stresses the importance of advanced technologies and environmental management systems that are utilized by the foreign-funded enterprises (see Cole et al., 2008).”
How does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Pollution? Toward a Better Understanding of the Direct and Conditional Effects (2015, unknown): “For instance, Cole et al. (2008) show that local firms (in Ghana) with managers having received training or previous working experience in a foreign company perform better in terms of energy intensity.”
The carbon dioxide emissions of firms:a spatial analysis (2013, background): “…evidence to suggest that foreign-owned firms in developing countries are likely to be cleaner than domestically owned firms (Eskeland and Harrison 2003, Cole et al. 2008 and Albornoz et al. 2009) although other studies such as Huq and Wheeler (1993) and Hartman et al. (1997) find no such evidence.”
Growth, Foreign Direct Investment, And The Environment: Evidence From Chinese Cities (2011, unknown): “… )/()/( )/( 54 3 2 21 (3) Given the previous evidence that domestic firms in developing economies may be more pollution intensive than foreign owned firms (Eskeland and Harrison 2003 and Cole et al. 2008a), we expect a positive sign on GIPd/GDP in Equation 3.”
In Search of Environmental Spillovers (2009, background): “In contrast, Eskeland and Harrison (2003) and Cole et al. (2008) assess the extent to which foreign ownership influences the energy intensity of firms in Côte d’Ivoire, Mexico and Venezuela, and Ghana, respectively, and in each case they find foreign ownership reduces the energy intensity of plants.”
Analyzing the Effect of Corporate Environmental Performance on Corporate Financial Performance in Developed and Developing Countries (2017, background): “Consumers in developed countries, concerned about the environmental impact of business activities [79], are willing to pay more for environmentally-friendly products [80], demand for which grows as factors such as consumer’s income, education and environmental awareness levels increase [81].”
Foreign Direct Investment and the Environment (2017, background): “(83) consider the energy intensity of Ghanaian plants and find that foreign-owned plants are more likely to utilize electricity, as opposed to solid or liquid fuels, which is arguably a cleaner source of energy.”
Green Microfinance: Characteristics of Microfinance Institutions Involved in Environmental Management (2013, background): “…organizations (mimetic isomorphism) (DiMaggi and Powell 1983; López Rodriguez 2009), the international origin of the institution or its managers (Cole et al. 2008), location in areas particularly prone to environmental degradation (Jones 1991), and the relative weight of donors and investors…”
