“…Uncertainty in the results might arise when many regions and sectors over a long period need to be accounted for in the context of global trade modeling. 19 , 30 In addition, this study only investigated the 2000–2018 period due to data limitations. The results may not cover the most recent situation of global ICT trade, in particular, the decoupling of the United States and China in high-tech trade during 2019–2022.…”

“… 15 , 16 , 17 However, limited existing research has examined the uneven distribution of carbon costs and economic benefits arising from trade within regions. 18 , 19 In particular, ICT trade stands at the center of current high-tech trade friction and has drawn rare attention when modeling the interaction between international trade and climate change. Therefore, a detailed assessment of the carbon-economic inequality (CEI) in ICT trade between countries and regions is required to address the rising bilateral trade disputes and tensions surrounding current global ICT trade.…”

“…Su et al (2019) further used an aggregated CO 2 intensity indicator to determine production efficiency and conducted structural path analysis and structural decomposition analysis of the national AEI. In recent years, the national AEI framework has been extended to regional and global levels in consideration of spatial aggregation (Su et al, 2021).…”

Exchanges of products and services in bilateral industries may be accompanied by environmental and economic inequalities which lead to imbalanced situations in relation to environmental protection and economic development. In a close trade relationship between two countries such as Australia and China, their industries inevitably affect each other. This study maps the embodied CO2 emissions and value added in bilateral trade under the input–output model and measures the unequal exchanges in such trade using an originally established industrial environ-economic balance index. The bilateral trade between Australia and China is taken as an example to validate the outcomes of the research method. The results indicate that in 2014, Australia transferred 580.90 billion tons of CO2 and 105.85 billion USD of value added to China, while approximately 375.65 billion tons of CO2 and 25.15 billion USD of value added flowed from China to Australia. China’s manufacturing, construction, and services and other industries, and China’s and Australia’s real estate activities industries had net inflows of embodied CO2 emissions and value added, indicating these industries paid economic costs in return for reducing environmental pressure. In inter-industrial trade between Australia and China, 49 pairs of bilateral industrial trades were relatively fairly balanced, while the remaining 15 pairs of inter-industrial trades were imbalanced. The established environ-economic balance analysis method and quantitative findings are valuable for better understanding the environment impacts of the economic development of national economies and developing national policies in corresponding to the rising environmental issues.

“…The responsibility for carbon emissions is mostly attributed to the production side rather than to consumers, which raises the questions of the flow and measurement of so-called "implied carbon" produced in international trade (Meng et al, 2018). Developed countries have achieved economic leapfrogging through trade activities, which has led to the phenomena of pollution havens and carbon displacement (Lin et al, 2017;Lin and Xu, 2019;Wang et al, 2019;Wen and Wang, 2019;Su et al, 2021). In the context of trade liberalization, countries around the world are also lowering their environmental standards as a sacrifice to maintain their international competitiveness.…”

A primary development plan for a country is to attain carbon neutrality and high-quality international commerce development. This study uses panel data from 30 provinces in mainland China to analyze the dynamic interplay between international trade, technological innovation, and carbon emissions. The findings show that foreign trade, technological progress, and carbon emissions all have their own “economic inertia” that can be self-motivated and self-reinforcing. Foreign commerce and carbon emissions are mutually inhibiting, but technical progress and carbon emissions are mutually reinforcing. This illustrates that achieving a positive cycle of international trade, technological improvement, and carbon emissions necessitates a significant baseline need. Overcoming carbon trade barriers is currently the most difficult challenge for Chinese enterprises involved in foreign commerce. Low-carbon technology advancements are a critical part in this process. Our research strengthens the positive connections between international trade and carbon emissions as a result of technological improvement and proposes a feasible plan for international trade to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
