Achieving Copenhagen target through carbon emission trading: Economic impacts assessment in Guangdong Province of China

Examining the effects of urbanization and industrialization on carbon dioxide emission: Evidence from China's provincial regions

“…However, the studies on the urbanization effect on energy-related CO 2 emission in Chinese provinces are incomplete and fragmented. This fragmentation likely stems from the fact that researchers are interested in a broad range of specific questions in particular research contexts and have tackled a variety of sector-specific [6,9,17,18,25,27] and region-specific research [17,18,21,24,32,33], for example, the carbon emission trading in Guangdong Province [20], the energy efficiency in Shandong Province [7], and the industrial restructuring in Jiangsu Province [29]. The fragmented research landscape raises up many fundamental questions for scholars of this field.…”

Feasibility Study of a Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Station Model

“…At present, the Chinese government has conducted pilot carbon emission trading in seven provinces and cities [54][55][56] since 2013. The next step is to build a nationwide carbon market in 2017.…”

How Can China Achieve Its Nationally Determined Contribution Targets Combining Emissions Trading Scheme and Renewable Energy Policies?

“…The ETS modelling in the CGE model is usually handled by implementing an endogenous carbon tax or treating allowance as a special input factor [21][22][23][24][28][29][30][42][43][44][45][46]. Although the impacts of implementing an ETS or an endogenous carbon tax on economies are the same theoretically, emissions trading is a decision optimization process for each trader under the principle of cost minimization.…”

“…Rather than making the model dynamic in a recursive dynamic manner as many literatures [21,22,[28][29][30], we choose a simple way to decompose the long-term target into a single-year target which could be modeled in a static model. The main reason is that it is difficult to decide the growth of related parameters across different regions making a multi-regional model dynamic, including capital stock, labor force, energy efficiency improvement, and the total factor productivity in different regions.…”

“…Some studies applied the partial or computable general equilibrium model to evaluate the socio-economic impacts of the ETS or the combination of ETS and RES policies, as seen in Fujimori et al [21,22], Zhang et al [23], Hübler et al [24], Morris [25], Böhringer and Behrens [26], and Del Rio [27]. Cheng et al [28], Wang et al [29], and Wu et al [30] each assessed the ETS in Guangdong and Shanghai from a regional perspective, using a two-region CGE model. Brink et al [31] evaluated various options to support CO 2 prices in the EU ETS using a CGE model.…”
