Inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) can promote a country's economic growth, but the effect of inward and outward FDI on regional ecological well-being performance (EWP) is uncertain. Using the data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2019, this study employs the spatial Dubin model to examine the spatial spillover effects of synergistic development of inward and outward FDI on regional ecological well-being performance and their mediating mechanisms. The result shows that the synergistic development of inward and outward FDI can significantly improve regional EWP and imply a positive spatial spillover effect. The dynamic effect analysis indicates that synergistic development of inward and outward FDI has a lag effect on the improvement of regional EWP. The mechanism test found that the synergistic development of inward and outward FDI can enhance the EWP of the region and the spatially related regions by promoting the rationalization, upgrading and technological innovation of the industrial structure. These findings have some insights into improving global ecological well-being in an open economy.
内向型和外向型外国直接投资（FDI）能够促进一国经济增长，但内向型和外向型FDI对区域生态福祉绩效（EWP）的影响尚不确定。本研究利用2004年至2019年中国30个省份的数据，采用空间杜宾模型检验内向型和外向型FDI协同发展对区域生态福祉绩效的空间溢出效应及其中介机制。结果表明，内向型和外向型FDI的协同发展能够显著改善区域EWP，并呈现出正向的空间溢出效应。动态效应分析表明，内向型和外向型FDI的协同发展对区域EWP的改善具有滞后效应。机制检验发现，内向型和外向型FDI的协同发展能够通过促进产业结构合理化、高级化和技术创新来提升本地区及空间相关地区的EWP。这些研究结果对在开放经济中改善全球生态福祉具有一定的启示意义。
