Abstract:
With the approach of input output SKYLINE analysis, this paper investigates the correlation between China’s international trade structure and CO2 emission. It is found that: ①China’s trade structure in 2002 and 2007 shows common characteristics of pollution deficit in international Labor Division; ②at the sectoral level, CO2 emissions embodied in net exports flow from light industries & traditional industries in 2002 to High Tech & heavy chemical industries in 2007; ③ continuing impacts of China’s export on environment mainly come from the fact that exports in final demand continued to rise in the proportion, rather than the presupposition that the pollution intensity of export trade would be higher than that of domestic demand.
