“…Affected by the global financial crisis, China has been actively seeking new economic growth patterns, from the export-oriented growth that followed participation in global trade 31,32 and the investment-led growth that emerged in response to the financial crisis 33,34 to an economic transformation based on domestic consumption demands under the new normal. 27,35 Changes in emissions driven by final use are shifting from exports under trade dividends and investments under policy stimulus to domestic consumption in the new normal.…”

“…Furthermore, Su et al [25] performed a comparative SDA study of 30 regions in China, and ranked them according to the chess room effect. Su et al [26] also built a 2006-2012 input-output database for input-output analysis, and by means of SDA revealed the factors driving China's trade changes during the period. In addition, Chen [27], Fan [28], Fang et al [29], and Guo [30] discussed China's CO 2 emissions; Bian [31], Fu and Li [32], Qu et al [33], and Zhu et al [34] probed into the indirect consumption-based emissions associated with Chinese residents.…”

The trends of consumption-based emissions in China have a major impact on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Previous studies have only focused on China's energy-related consumption-based emissions of CO 2 or specific non-CO 2 GHGs without taking overall consumptionbased non-CO 2 GHG emissions into account. Based on a constructed global non-CO 2 GHG emissions database, combined with CO 2 emissions data, this paper fills this gap through an examination and analysis of China's GHG emissions using a global multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model for 2004, 2007 and 2011, and identifies the major factors driving changes in consumption-based emissions through a structural decomposition analysis (SDA). The results show that compared with CO 2 emissions, CH 4 , N 2 O and F-gases emissions all increased more rapidly. Among consumption-based non-CO 2 GHG emissions, investment-based emissions experienced the fastest growth, but the net exports of non-CO 2 GHG emissions dropped drastically in recent years. While investment in total final consumption demand is the most influential factor for CO 2 emissions, household consumption most significantly affects the growth in consumption-based non-CO 2 GHG emissions.

“…that is, they have concentrated on either the economic benefits (Johnson and Noguera, 2012;Koopman et al, 2014) or the environmental costs Su and Thomson, 2016) of exports. However, exports are associated with a combination of economic benefits and environment costs, so the fourth objective of this research is to explore the similarities and differences between GVN and GEN for China's exports.…”

“…Other published studies have investigated the environmental costs of exports from many aspects, considering, for instance, energy consumption (Tang et al, 2016), CO 2 emissions (Ahmad and Wyckoff, 2003;Su and Thomson, 2016) and SO 2 emissions (Liu and Wang, 2015) embodied in exports. In particular, CO 2 emissions embodied in exports have been widely studied due to increasing concern about climate change.…”

This paper decomposes economic benefits (value‐added) and environmental costs (CO2) of exports according to their sources, and maps the global value network (GVN) and the global emissions network (GEN) for China's exports during 1995–2009 from national, sectoral and national–sectoral perspectives. A comparison is conducted between China and the USA. National GVN and GEN show that shares of value‐added and CO2 emissions from China in its GVN and GEN both decreased first then increased after 2006, while shares from the USA in its GVN and GEN generally decreased. Sectoral GVN and GEN show that among China's exports, “electrical and optical equipment” and “electricity, gas and water supply” were, respectively, the sectors that obtained the most value‐added and emitted the most CO2. National–sectoral GVN and GEN for China exhibited reciprocal and disassortative patterns, and in‐strengths and out‐strengths of GVN and GEN for China's exports were mainly captured by several domestic country–sector pairs.
