Abstract
In this paper, we use input-output analysis andcommodity exporting data of China during 1999-2012 toconduct an empirical study and calculate carbon embodimentsin China’s exporting goods. The results show that China hasbeen exporting a large amount of carbon embodiments, and itsincrease of CO2 emissions has a close relationship with itsexport and import, among the annual CO2 emissions of China,about 12%-24% were caused by the demands of othercountries.
