“…(1) Trade scale: The trade scale effect in agriculture, under constant structure and technology, shows that increased trade scale leads to higher embodied carbon emissions. This study explores this by examining the value added of agricultural product industries in China and Russia in relation to changes in embodied carbon emissions [38]. (2) Trade structure: The trade structure effect highlights that, with a constant scale of agricultural product trade, a higher proportion of product trade structure corresponds to increased embodied carbon emissions.…”

China and Russia are major agricultural countries with abundant agricultural resources, holding important global agricultural trade market positions. While the scale of China-Russia agricultural trade has maintained rapid growth, the embodied carbon emissions from agricultural products have also increased. This article first uses input-output data to construct a multi-regional input-output model under a total trade accounting method to calculate the carbon emission coefficients, trade value-added, and embodied carbon emissions of three categories of agricultural products traded between China and Russia from 2009 to 2019. Our results show that, from an industry perspective, Category C3 agricultural products have the highest carbon emission coefficients; Category C1 agricultural products have the highest export value-added. From the standpoint of imports and exports, Russia's export value-added to China has proliferated in recent years and is slightly higher than that of Chinese exports to Russia; the embodied carbon emissions from Chinese agricultural products are higher than those from Chinese exports to Russia. We further examined the impact of trade scale, trade structure, and carbon emission intensity on embodied carbon, finding that these three factors have heterogeneous effects on the embodied carbon of agricultural trade for different industries and countries.

Energy-consuming rights trading (ECRT) policy represents a critical policy instrument for China striving to achieve its “dual carbon” objectives, captivating significant attention for its potential to reduce pollution and carbon emissions. This study utilizes panel data from 290 Chinese cities spanning 2010 to 2021, leveraging the ECRT policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Employing Difference-in-Differences (DID) and Propensity Score Matching-Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) methodologies, we assess the effect of the ECRT policy on urban pollution and carbon reduction levels. The findings indicate: 1) Relative to non-demonstration cities, the ECRT policy significantly enhances pollution and carbon reduction levels in demonstration cities; this conclusion remains robust after rigorous testing. 2) Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the policy’s effect on pollution and carbon reduction is more significant in the central and western regions, and particularly evident in key and resource-based cities. 3) Mechanism tests demonstrate that the policy facilitates urban pollution and carbon reduction by cultivating green technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading. Therefore, to further advance the ECRT policy, it is necessary to expand the breadth, depth, and flexibility of policy implementation, while also optimizing environmental regulations to fully leverage the system’s potential in enhancing urban pollution and carbon emissions.

“…Per capita gross domestic product (pgdp). We use the per capita gross domestic product to measure the economic development level of a city [54]. The economic development of a city is the most fundamental driver of knowledge creation and diffusion; the higher the level of economic development, the more support for green innovation [55].…”

This study examines the effectiveness of the low-carbon pilot city program in promoting green innovation outcomes in China. Using a time-varying difference-in-differences model based on 277 cities from 2003 to 2019, this study finds that the implementation of the low-carbon pilot city program has a positive and significant impact on city-level green innovation outcomes. The policy effect is heterogeneous across different urban infrastructure characteristics, including geographic location, city scale, factor endowment, carbon emission intensity, and ICT infrastructure. This study provides important insights into the effectiveness of low-carbon policies in promoting green innovation and has important implications for policymakers and practitioners who are interested in promoting sustainable development in emerging economies.
