Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on welfare in ASEAN countries, with a focus on environmental degradation as a mediating variable and corruption as a moderating variable. Using panel data from seven ASEAN countries over the period 2012-2023, this research analyzes the relationships between FDI, environmental degradation, corruption, and welfare through a regression model with a Random Effects Model (REM) approach, estimated using Generalized Least Square (GLS). The analysis results indicate that FDI has a negative impact on welfare, with environmental degradation amplifying this effect. On the other hand, corruption is found to have a negative impact on welfare, but as a moderating factor, it slightly reduces the negative effect of FDI. These findings suggest that the sustainability of FDI’s benefits for welfare heavily depends on improved environmental management and stronger governance.
