The Research On The Impact Of Global Value Chain On China's Regional Carbon Emissions

At present,global warming is a common challenge facing the world.The main cause of global warming is the massive emission of carbon dioxide from the burning of chemicals such as fossil fuels and petroleum.Since the reform and opening-up,China,a manufacturing power,has maintained rapid economic growth.With the rapid development of China's economy,energy consumption has grown rapidly with the process of accelerating industrialization,resulting in increasing carbon dioxide emissions and environmental problems.The relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and its influencing factors has become a hot issue for scholars at home and abroad.In the context of today's economic globalization,the international division of labor has contributed to a global value chain.More and more countries have joined a series of value-added activities in the global value chain.The rapid development of global value chains changes the way of international division of labor as well as the world economic structure and promotes trade activities of various countries.At the same time,countries in different value chain sectors face different levels of environmental pollution and carbon emissions.This paper studies the impact of global value chain on China's regional carbon emission reduction.This paper analyzes the status quo of China's carbon emissions and participation in global value chains at the national and provincial levels,and then utilizes the environmental pollution supply and demand model built by Copeland and Talor in the theoretical part.The concept of global value chain is introduced into this model to study the relationship between global value chain and economic carbon emissions in a more comprehensive way.The panel data analysis of empirical analysis selects the data of 29 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities except Tibet and Inner Mongolia from 2002-2016.The carbon emission effects were divided into scale effect,innovation effect,and structure effect,trade effect and the global value chain effect to analyze the direct mechanism,as well as the indirect mechanism between global value chain and carbon emission.It can be drawn from empirical results that the carbon emission will be alleviated if China actively participate in the high-end link of the global value chain.Finally,based on the empirical results,the relevant recommendations for actively integrating into the high-end links of the global value chain,accelerating the upgrading of industrial structure,paying more attention to innovation and talent cultivation and formulating policies according to local conditions to achieve economic low-carbon transformation are proposed.
