Abstract
The role of the foreign direct investment (FDI) for the economic growth of countries is crucial in terms of the advantages it creates such as employment opportunities, providing long-term finance, facilitating competition, and technology spillover. Although countries are trying to attract FDI inflows and rise the volume of new projects, the concern of environmental issues is gaining much more importance than ever before. In this respect, this study will aim to investigate the relationship between FDI inflows and environmental pollution from CIS countries for the period 2001-2014. By employing panel data analysis, the relation is analyzed by using Carbon dioxide emission as a proxy for environmental pollution. The data is obtained from the World Bank database for selected countries.
