『Abstract
This study examines the annual CO2 emissions
embodied in China's export from 2002 to 2008 using environmental
input-output analysis. Four driving forces, including emission
intensity, economic production structure, export composition,
and total export volume, are compared for their contributions
to the increase of embodied CO2 emissions
using a structural decomposition analysis (SDA) technique. Although
offset by the decrease in emission intensity, the increase of
embodied CO2 emissions was driven by changes
of the other three factors. In particular, the change of the export
composition was the largest driver, primarily due to the increasing
fraction of metal products in China's total export. Relevant policy
implications and future research directions are discussed at the
end of the paper.
