The Empirical Analysis on the Carbon Emission Transfer by Sino-EU Merchandise Trade

Xian Zhang, Kejiao Huang

Abstract


By using input-output analysis method, this paper analyses the China and European Union’s corresponding transfer amount of carbon emissions caused by Sino-EU trade in 2002, 2007 and 2012.Furthermore, the influence degree of scale, structure and intensity on the amount of carbon emission transfer of China and European Union in a specific period of time was analyzed by using the method of LMDI. The result shows that there exists carbon emissions transfer from European Union to China. Scale effect always has a positive influence on the transferred amount of Chinese and European carbon emissions during the study period. The negative effect of structure to the transferred carbon emissions of China is weakening and the effect of intensity to the transferred carbon emissions of China is from the positive influence to negative one. For the EU, the effect of structure and intensity remain relatively stable state.


Keywords
