Summary: Literature explores the possibility of Foreign Direct Investment flowing from countries with strict environmental regulations to those with less stringent regulations, leading to the pollution haven hypothesis. Some countries may relax their regulations to attract FDI, resulting in the race to the bottom effect. While there is ample empirical evidence supporting the pollution haven hypothesis, fewer studies confirm the race to the bottom effect, but interest in this topic is increasing.

Summary: This study examines the impact of foreign direct investment on environmental pollution in China by constructing spatial autoregressive models. The findings reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between FDI and environmental situation. It also shows that regions with larger economic scale and better industrial structure experience a greater impact from FDI on environmental situation, while technological level does not serve as a moderator in this study.

Summary: This paper analyzes the dual effects of environmental regulation on PM2.5 pollution in China, finding that it has a significant negative impact on pollution while also indirectly reducing it through technological innovation and industrial structure adjustment. However, environmental regulation restrains the environmental spillover effect of foreign direct investment, exacerbating pollution levels.

Summary: The study found that environmental regulation does not cause foreign firms to leave China, but rather reduces the probability of foreign firms exiting. Specifically, environmental regulation helps improve the business performance of foreign firms and decreases their likelihood of leaving. In regions with higher market competition, environmental regulation plays a more significant role in decreasing the probability of foreign firms' exit.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of environmental regulations on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. A panel threshold model is used to assess the threshold effects of these regulations on FDI. The findings reveal a V-shaped curve, indicating that environmental regulations initially inhibit FDI, but later lead to an increase in FDI. This can be explained by the need for pollution-generating FDI to withdraw from China due to strict regulations until the human capital level reaches a certain threshold. Once this threshold is reached, converted cleaner-production FDI and additional FDI from different destinations enter China, boosting overall FDI.

Summary: The study aims to test the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis in Turkish provinces between 2004 and 2019 using SO2 measurements. The results confirm a non-linear link between regional economic prospects and environmental degradation, showing a U-shaped relationship between economic development and SO2 levels, contrary to core expectations of the EKC hypothesis. The findings also highlight the need for a different action plan post-2000 to mitigate the rising impact of environmental degradation in Turkey.

Summary: From the national and regional perspectives, China's low-carbon innovation demonstrates understandable clustering characteristics in the longitudinal dimension. Environmental regulation plays a crucial role in promoting low-carbon innovation and regional heterogeneity. The study suggests that environmental regulation may effectively drive enterprises' outward foreign direct investment, thereby increasing the level of OFDI that can promote low-carbon innovation. OFDI acts as an intermediary between environmental regulation and low-carbon innovation, with regional heterogeneity in this role. There are significant spatial spillover effects of environmental regulation and OFDI on low-carbon innovation, environmental regulation on OFDI, and the intermediary effect of OFDI on environmental regulation and low-carbon innovation. This research enhances our understanding of the relationship between environmental regulation, OFDI, and low-carbon innovation, offering insights for enterprise practice and decision-makers.

Summary: Environmental emergencies can cause serious damage to ecological environment, human health, and social properties in a short period of time. Environmental decentralization can help local governments curb the occurrence of environmental emergencies, but regional corruption may weaken its effectiveness. The study found a negative impact of environmental decentralization on environmental emergencies, but this effect decreases with higher levels of corruption, and there is heterogeneity in the relationship between the two in different regions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
