Abstract: In examining the data on 12,703 newly established FDI firms and the environmental regulation reforms between 2000 and 2010, we study whether the foreign investors in China exhibit pollution haven behaviors. Our analyses indicate that fewer FDI firms locate in provinces with more stringent environmental regulations. Consistent results are found when we examine the
individual firm’s location choice decision. We further find that firms’ location patterns respond to changes in environmental regulations. In particular, their pollution haven behaviors become more significant when the changes introduce greater inter-provincial differences in environmental stringency.
