Foreign direct investment and environmental pollution in China: a simultaneous equations estimation* (2010, background): “A number of econometric studies have examined whether differences in environmental standards in host countries can be a location-specific determinant of foreign investment (Xu and Song, 2000; Smarzynska and Wei, 2001; Keller and Levinson, 2002; Eskeland and Harrison, 2003; List et al., 2004; Henders”
The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, methodology): “…county, being a strictly regulated “nonattainment” county decreases the inflow of relocating plants by nearly 63 percent (List et al. 2003) and decreases the expected inflow of new dirty plants by 44–61 percent or 150–600 percent, depending on the estimator used (List, McHone, and Millimet 2004).”
Are Foreign Investors Attracted to Weak Environmental Regulations? Evaluating the Evidence from China (2005, background): “See Henley, et al. (1999).”
Measuring the Stringency of Environmental Regulations (2016, background): “More recent studies that use this approach examine industry location and employment (Greenstone 2002), housing prices (Chay and Greenstone 2005), pollution (Greenstone 2004), new manufacturing plants (List, McHone, and Millimet 2004), and mortality (Chay, Dobkin, and Greenstone 2003).”
Foreign Direct Investment and the Environment (2017, background): “(49) use county-level attainment status to evaluate the impact of environmental regulation on foreign and domestic plant births.”
Environmental Regulation and French Firms Location Abroad: An Economic Geography Model in an International Comparative Study (2012, unknown): “However, when using a semi-parametric propensity score matching estimator while comparing the location decisions of foreign and domestic firms in the New York State, List et al. (2004) find that only domestic firms are sensitive to the stringency of environmental regulation.”
