Spatial spillover effects in determining China's regional CO 2 emissions growth: 2007–2010

摘要: Abstract This study proposes an alternative input–output based spatial structural decomposition analysis to elucidate the importance of domestic regional heterogeneity and inter-regional spillover effects in determining China's CO 2 emissions growth. Our empirical results, on 2007 2010 Chinese tables, show that changes most regions' final demand scale, expenditure structure, export scale have positive other growth; consumption preference help reduce emissions; production technology investment preferences may exert or negative region's growth through supply chains. For some regions, aggregate effect from regions be larger than intra-regional All these facts can significantly provide a better, deeper understanding driving forces behind thus enrich policy implications concerning narrow definition “carbon leakage” “trade” as well relevant political consensus about responsibility sharing between developed developing inside China.
