“…Fang and Shakur (2018) stated that these cost are falling, although remain abnormally high which is especially problematic for less developed countries in EU. Obtained results also confirms Guo et al (2015) research which shows that despite a significant structural break during financial crisis, relationship of agri-food trade between China and Germany was developing stably. Moreover, German agri-food export to China developed to the extent that allows to compete with France whose export was previously better established on Chinese market.…”

Poland is one of the largest agricultural producers within European Union (EU). Since joining EU in 2004, Poland has significantly increased its agri-food trade turnover and strengthened its net exporter standing in this regard. With the understanding that countries exporting similar goods to a specific market can be considered competitors, the examination covered similarities in Poland’s export of agri-food products compared to the two largest agricultural producers in EU, namely Germany and France, in three markets: EU-28, China and United States. The agri-food export was analyzed in terms of structure, value and quality, using ComExt data. The growth of the Polish agri-food trade following the accession to the European Union, allowed the country to become a competitor to the common market’s biggest agricultural producers. Poland’s competitiveness in the US market in relation to Germany is also rising. On the other hand, looking at the Chinese market, the value of the exported agri-food products is too low to consider Poland a major competitor to Germany or France. Poland’s competitiveness in the trade of agri-food products is relatively well covered in the literature, but the studies usually focus on the issue of volume and structure or comparative advantages. The export similarity is omitted, in particular with regard to Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and to quality similarities issues. The study also suggests a way to identify countries similar in terms of export structure that is based on entire population results. This study fills in a certain research gap that emerged in the context of CEEC, consisting in the analysis of Poland's export in the background of EU’s largest agricultural producers.

“…Studies which focused on the trade between China and Germany mainly compare the bilateral trade volume itself, while others analyzed the reasons of the key contributors in stimulating the bilateral trades [ 16 , 36 ]. Guo et al [ 37 ] summarized China’s exports to Germany developed since China’s access to WTO in 2001. Recently, Wang et al [ 15 ] researched the carbon emissions embodied in trade for China and Germany, and discovered increasing volumes of carbon emissions between the two countries from 1995 to 2009.…”

This article attempts to investigate the impacts of bilateral trade on the environment by estimating the embodied carbon emissions between China and Germany over the period 1999–2018. The above impacts are broadly explored in the literature both under the framework of theoretical and empirical analysis. However, there exist fewer empirical studies exploring the nonlinear relationship between trade volumes and carbon emissions between a well-developed and emerging economies. By applying the multiregional input-output (MRIO) model, this article aims to reveal the impacts of trade on the environment in the case of China–Germany. Specifically, trade amounts between China and Germany rank high with a similarly increasing trend and both of them are large net exporting countries. However, China experienced much larger carbon emissions embodied in its exports to Germany. Despite potential concerns on the carbon leakage issue of China from Germany, we find that the bilateral trades fit an inverse U-shape in the embodied carbon emissions, which suggests that the trade between the two countries can finally reduce carbon intensity without obstructing economic development particularly in the long-term. This paper guides policy-makers to quantify the issue of CO2 transfer among bilateral trades in order to achieve the target of trading sustainability.

“…The financial crisis in 2008 was responsible for the highest abrupt variations in the export, import and trade balance lines. The financial crisis in 2008 led to the collapse of a large number of enterprises dealing in forest woody products and employment in China, causing a rapid decline in import demand in WWFP [38]. This financial crisis led to the shrinking of international forest woody product market.…”

“…Also, the total VWWFP transfer, of course, fell rapidly. However, the Chinese government's strong macroeconomic controls [38] delayed the most abrupt variations in VWWFP trade balance (net VWWFP import) until 2009. VWWFP flow direction was also observed.…”

Transfer of Virtual Water of Woody Forest Products from China

Global freshwater resources are under increasing pressure. It is reported that international trade of water-intensive products (the so-called virtual water trade) can be used to ease global water pressure. In spite of the significant amount of international trade of woody forest products, virtual water of woody forest products (VWWFP) and the corresponding international trade are largely ignored. However, virtual water research has progressed steadily. This study maps VWWFP and statistically analyzes China's official data for the period 1993-2014. The results show a rapid increase in the trend of VWWFP flow from China, reaching 7.61
