“…Developed regions (as Eastern coast region, Southern coast region) outsourced production activities to less developed regions (as Northwest region) in a low efficient and high carbon way. Outsourcing of this kind can bring effective carbon control in developed regions, but pose huge mitigation pressures to poor regions, and boost the national carbon emission level [47,48]. Thus, in making multi-regional carbon policies such as carbon target allocation, the carbon leakage should be considered.…”

Carbon footprints have been widely employed as an indicator for total carbon dioxide released by human activities. In this paper, we implemented a multi-regional input-output framework to evaluate the carbon footprints and embodied carbon flows for the eight regions of China from consumption-based perspective. It is found that the construction, electricity/stream supply, and machine manufacturing rank as the top sectors with the largest total carbon emissions. The construction sector alone accounts for 20%-50% of the national emissions. Besides the sectoral carbon footprints, regional footprints and their differences in carbon emissions were also observed. The middle region had the largest total carbon footprints, 1188 million ton, while the capital region ranked the first for its per capita carbon footprint, 7.77 ton/person. In regard to the embodied carbon flows within China, the study detected that the embodied carbon flows take up about 41% of the total carbon footprints of the nation. The northwest region and the eastern coast region are found to be the largest net embodied carbon exporter and importer, respectively. Further investigation revealed significant differences between production-based and consumption-based carbon emissions, both at sectoral and total amounts. Results of this paper can provide specific information to policies on sectoral and regional carbon emission reduction. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 10099

Innovation has become one of the most important driver of today's service industry, which plays a key role in knowledge-based economy. In literature generally researches have been emphasized on innovation determinants on manufacturing industry and less concentration on service innovation factors. So this study aims to find out innovation decision factors in service industry by using DEMATEL method. The method was used to analyze the causal relationships and prioritize the importance of innovation factors in logistics industry by applying questionnaire to logistics professionals. Research findings show that research and development is the most important criteria for logistics industry, which also affects knowledge-based economy.

Sustainable end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) management has become a top important issue for automotive industries in many countries to tackle environmental and economic challenges. Currently, parts of the ELVs are used in many different ways, which often increase environmental hazards and reduce economic benefits. The selection of the best compromise ELVs management alternative (e.g., reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling) can bring maximum sustainability performances for any society or organization when things are to be settled professionally. The present paper proposes a multicriteria decision-making approach using Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP (FEAHP) to aid the decision maker in selecting the best compromise ELV management alternative with respect to the sustainable criteria. Here, DEMATEL is used to evaluate the sustainable criteria and then FEAHP is applied to evaluate the best alternatives. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach in real-world applications. The results show that it is a viable approach and can be used as an effective tool for criteria and alternative evaluation. Finally, the implication of this study and limitations are also discussed.
