Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify the moderating role of foreign investor characteristics in the relationship between regulatory and economic dimensions of FDI and environmental degradation in the UAE. In order to meet the objectives of the study, four hypotheses were developed. The first and second hypotheses deal with the direct effect of regulatory and economic dimensions of foreign direct investment, whereas the third and fourth hypotheses deal with the moderating impact of foreign investor characteristics on the relationship between regulatory and economic dimensions of FDI and environmental degradation.
