The Influence Of Trade Openness And FDI On Carbon Emissions Embodied In Chinese Trade

With the increasingly global warming, greenhouse gas emissions have become the focus of international political and economic game. China, as the largest developing country and the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has an important impact on the global carbon emissions. However, China’s rapid growth in carbon emissions not only in order to meet its own needs, a large part is emitted for other countries or regions by trade, which leads to the trade carbon transfer issue. How should the reduction task assignment of global carbon emission be? The principle of producer’s responsibility or consumer’s responsibility, which is more suitable for China? What are the main factors influencing China’s trade carbon transfer and how? This article will answer these questions.The international carbon transfer is mainly through trade and with the development of economic globalization, FDI, as a new form of global labor division and cooperation, also contains a lot of carbon transfer. There are a large number of literatures home and abroad to estimate the trade carbon transfer, but few further analyze its influencing factors. And as for the influencing factors of carbon emissions, most scholars focus only on the research of the impact of trade on carbon emissions, or FDI on carbon emissions, several scholars have studied both the impact of trade and FDI on carbon emissions, but the depth of such research are not high and needs further and deeper improvement. In view of this, this paper studies its impact on trade carbon transfer from the perspective of trade openness and FDI. Research results can be the decision-making basis of the adjustment of country’s foreign trade policy and energy conservation policy and reasonable foreign investment introduction. It also helps our country to deal with the international negotiations, such as emissions reduction responsibility and the duty of global warming. This paper will have a strong theoretical and practical significance.The results show that trade openness and FDI have a negative impact on Chinese trade carbon transfer. Higher trade openness and FDI inflows will lead to more trade carbon transfer. So we conclude the following suggestion:make an adjustment of Chinese trade policies and accelerate the development of import trade; introduce FDI reasonably and improve the use of technology spillover effect of FDI; call for the establishment of producers and consumers jointly responsible for defining the responsibility for carbon emissions.
