This study aims to examine the impact of globalization on environmental performance by employing panel data for 148 countries from 2001 to 2018, via the indicator of Environmental Performance Index to capture the overall environmental quality and KOF index to measure the multi dimensions of globalization. The empirical results suggest that globalization is critical to environmental performance, which is reliable while we conduct several robustness tests. Furthermore, if globalization increases, it would be beneficial for the environmental performance; moreover, among specific dimensions of globalization, economic globalization, social globalization and political globalization would bring about better environmental performance. Besides, the improvement of globalization, social globalization and political globalization would bring about better environmental performance, while that of economic globalization cannot change the overall environmental performance. Our study offers more insight into the relationship between globalization and environmental performance.
本研究旨在通过使用 2001 年至 2018 年来自 148 个国家的面板数据，利用环境绩效指数指标来衡量整体环境质量，利用 KOF 指数来衡量全球化的多维性，来检验全球化对环境绩效的影响。实证结果表明，全球化对环境绩效至关重要，这在我们进行了几次稳健性检验后仍然可靠。此外，如果全球化程度提高，将有利于环境绩效；此外，在全球化的具体维度中，经济全球化、社会全球化和政治全球化将带来更好的环境绩效。此外，全球化、社会全球化和政治全球化的改善将带来更好的环境绩效，而经济全球化的改善则不能改变整体环境绩效。本研究为全球化与环境绩效之间的关系提供了更深入的了解。
