Changes of CO 2 emissions embodied in China–Japan trade: drivers and implications

Causal relationships between carbon dioxide emissions and economic factors: Evidence from China

“…For example, Halicioglu () attempts to find the dynamic causal relationships between CO 2 emissions and foreign trade for Turkey during 1960–2005 and suggests that foreign trade is one of the most significant variables in CO 2 emissions. Similarly, Wu, Geng, Dong, Fujita, and Tian () employ driving force analysis to confirm the changes of CO 2 and emissions embodied from the China–Japan trade perspective during 2000–2009. They find that trade was the main driver for the increase of CO 2 emissions.…”

The study on the air pollutants embodied in goods for consumption and trade in China – Accounting and structural decomposition analysis

“…Some scholars studied embodied carbons in trade between several countries globally (Peters et al, 2011;Wiebe et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2016), some studied embodied carbons in one country or area, e.g. China (Su and Ang, 2013;Liu et al, 2015a;Liu et al, 2015b), Liaoning in China (Geng et al, 2013), European Union (Galli et al, 2013), Uruguay (Piaggio et al, 2015).…”

Recent progress on innovative eco-industrial development

“…In this SV, various papers presented regulatory instruments, economic instruments, and voluntary approaches for implementing innovative EID policies that address the macro, meso, and micro levels of eco-industrial activities. For instance, by using the 'emissions embodied in bilateral trade' (EEBT) approach, through the use of multi-regional inputeoutput tables, Wu et al (2015b) observed the changes of embodied CO 2 emission flows between China and Japan for the period of 2000e2009. In order to identify driving forces for the embodied CO 2 emission changes, decomposition analysis was conducted between different years.…”
