The Study About The Relationship Between Hunan Export Trade And Embodied Carbon

At present, global temperature as a whole increasingly rising, the damage of globe warming to the production and life of people around the world can not been estimated. China, as the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide, is faced with enormous pressure like Europe and other developed countries in determining the embodied carbon targets. However, many scholars have found that China’s exports imply most of the embodied carbon. The case of how to maintain rapid economic growth, in line with China’s national conditions target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is especially important. China, however, as a regional economic characteristics of distinct countries, in determining the regional emission reduction targets must take the central and western areas of economic heterogeneity into account. Hunan Province is in a critical period of the construction of "two-oriented society." In this paper, it is Hunan Province that is regarded as the research object, studding exporting Embodied Carbon and relative factors, providing a reference to how to determine the responsibility of embodied dioxide and reduce it, furthermore a reference to similar problems for central province of China.Hunan Province, an individual area,is the main research object in this study. Firstly,Analyzes the current situation of export trade and CO2 emissions of Hunan Province, in particularly various industrial sectors. Then, based on the input-output model, estimate the exporting embodied carbon which emissed 9 years in 14 industries from 2005 to 2013 in Hunan. And analyze the effect of embodied carbon in export trade by using a random effects model, reveal industrial output. capital-labor ratio., the contribution of total exports and foreign capital to exporting embodied carbon, and finally offer specific policy suggestion on how to reduce the exporting embodied carbon in Hunan Province, based on empirical results and Hunan the actual condition of the provinceThe main conclusion of this article is that the increasing economy of scale, mainly based on industrial output and export-oriented, is the main reason of the mounting embodied carbon which is implicated export trade, and the impact is quite significant. The inhibition of Hunan exporting trade carbon emissions increase is rising capital-labor ratio, but its effect can not be offset by the positive effect size and total export industries. firstly foreign capital into the industry through its preferences affect embodied carbon, secondly the introduction of foreign capital of Hunan have a negative effect on insidious embodied carbon, lastly Hunan Province has not yet played a positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions. The main measures proposed are that optimize the export structure, adjust the industrial policies to promote energy conservation and strengthen international cooperation.
