Abstract

This study examines the relationship between economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI), and environmental quality across the six provinces of Sulawesi within the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework. Using panel data for 2015–2024, the study applies the Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (Panel-ARDL) model with the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator. The results confirm a long-run EKC relationship, indicating that environmental quality initially deteriorates and subsequently improves as income increases. Meanwhile, FDI has a negative but statistically insignificant effect, while short-run dynamics remain heterogeneous across provinces due to differences in economic structures, investment characteristics, and environmental management

Bahasa Abstract

Studi ini menganalisis hubungan antara pertumbuhan ekonomi, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), dan kualitas lingkungan pada enam provinsi di Pulau Sulawesi dalam kerangka Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Penelitian ini menggunakan data panel periode 2015–2024 dengan pendekatan Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (Panel-ARDL) dan estimator Pooled Mean Group (PMG). Hasil penelitian mengonfirmasi keberlakuan EKC dalam jangka panjang, yang menunjukkan bahwa kualitas lingkungan awalnya menurun dan kemudian membaik seiring meningkatnya pendapatan. Sementara itu, FDI berpengaruh negatif, tetapi tidak signifikan, sedangkan dinamika jangka pendek bersifat heterogen antarprovinsi akibat perbedaan struktur ekonomi, karakteristik investasi, dan pengelolaan lingkungan.
