Abstract Based on the data of 37 key cities from 2000 to 2017, this paper uses the panel threshold model to explore the impact of both quantity and quality of FDI on the quality of economic growth and its constraint mechanism. The results show that the quantity and quality of FDI do have a significant impact on QEGI and there is a threshold effect, while the constraint mechanism also exists when economic development level, infrastructure and national quality are threshold variables. The results are stable. Therefore, in order to improve cities’ quality of economic growth, the way is not only to control the number reasonably while improve the quality of FDI, but also to improve cities’ endogenous development ability such as economic development level, infrastructure and national quality.
