Research On The Path Of Industrial Competitiveness Promotion Of Liaoning Province In The Context Of Carbon Tax

With the increasingCO2emission, the face of the global climate problem is becomingmore and more serious. Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, droughts and floods, hurricanesand other catastrophic climate appeared frequently. To alleviate the pressure on theenvironment, countries are looking for effective measures to reduce emissions, includingemissions trading schem and carbon tax. The carbon tax has become the focus of nationalattention since the effective practice in the Nordic countries. As a big country of carbonemissions, our government has also noticed the emission reduction effect of carbon tax andhas its levy on the agenda. As a restraint system, the carbon tax would indirectly increasethe price of fossil fuels, which will bring a heavy cost to those industries who rely oncarbon-based production technology, and reduce their competitiveness.Based on the theory of comparative advantage and competitive advantage, this papermade a prospective study on industrial competitiveness in liaoning province under thebackground of carbon tax, in order to make the industry more positive response to the unfavorableimpact caused by carbon tax. Firstly, the paper expounds researches of industrialcompetitiveness and carbon tax from domestic and foreign scholars, and it providestheoretical supports for the study on industrial competitiveness in Liaoning Province;Secondly, on the basis of research results of domestic and foreign scholars, this paperexpounds the effect factors and the effect mechanisms of resources, technology, industrialorganization structure, enterprise management, the carbon tax system, FDI and governmentsupport for the competitiveness of industries in Liaoning Province under the background ofcarbon tax; Then, by using factor analysis, the paper conducts an empirical analysis on thecompetitiveness of carbon emissions related industries in Liaoning Province, extracts keyfactors affecting the competitiveness of industries in Liaoning Province, including the scale,technology, management and low carbon, and compares the level of industrialcompetitiveness in Liaoning province and other provinces according to the four key factors.The empirical analysis finds that the industrial competitiveness of LiaoningProvince has the characteristics of the "big but not strong". There are two reasons toexplain this finding, one is industrial technology, management and other factors are lack ofinvestment, but also the internal industrial organization efficiency is not too high; the otherreason is characterized by high energy consumption and high carbon emissions fromindustry long-term extensive development, making its competitiveness adversely affectedby the carbon tax system. Finally, combine with the above conclusion, this paper designspaths to enhance industrial competitiveness of Liaoning province under the background ofcarbon tax, including low carbon technological progress, improve low carbon managementlevel and industrial organization reconstruction, and elaborates on these paths from theaspects of direction, way and the support of the government.
