“…First of all, just like international trade, domestic trade within a country could also improve regional technology capabilities through positive embodied knowledge spillovers, and thus reduce its CO 2 emissions. But the side effect of domestic inter-regional trade may also exist, which is known as "the pollution haven hypothesis" (Ren et al, 2014a, b). A developed region may shift its intensively polluting industry to lagged regions through inter-regional trade, which instead increases the CO 2 emissions of lagged regions.…”

“…We measure it with the ratio of CO 2 emissions to GDP. So far, China has no direct statistics about CO 2 emissions on regional level, thus most scholars have to estimate it on the basis of energy consumption in each region (Ren et al, 2014a, b). According to the China Statistics Bureau, there are 8 major types of energy sources in China, which are coal, coke, crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil and natural gas.…”

Ma -Liu: Intra-and inter-regional technology transfer and CO2 emissions in China: comparing the effects of energy and environmental technologies - Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the role of regional technology transfer in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in China. By collecting a panel data of 150 observations from 30 regions of mainland China during 2006-2010, this paper extends the STIRPAT model to explore the relationship between intra-and inter-regional technology transfer and CO 2 emission intensity, and meanwhile compares the effects of energy and environmental technologies in different regions of China. The results show that, in the national level, only intra-regional transfer of energy technologies can significantly reduce the CO 2 emission intensity. When it comes to the regional level, intra-regional transfer of energy technologies has a negative influence on CO 2 emissions in the eastern and western regions. In contrast, intra-regional transfer of environmental technologies negatively affects CO 2 emissions in the central regions, and even leads to a significant increase of CO 2 emissions in the eastern regions. However, neither inter-regional transfer of energy technologies nor inter-regional transfer of environmental technologies has significant effect on CO 2 emissions reduction in China. Our findings reveal the critical role of intraregional rather than inter-regional technology transfer, and also energy technologies rather than environmental technologies in reducing CO 2 emissions, which has important implications for future environmental policy-making in China.

“…Acaravci and Ozturk [22] reached similar conclusions for some European countries, as did Rafindad [23] for Nigeria, and Shahbaz et al [24] and Alkhathlan and Javid [25] for Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, numerous scholars have analysed how population, per capita wealth, technological progress, industrial structure, international trade, and urbanisation affect carbon emissions [26][27][28][29][30]. Most studies show that carbon emissions relate closely to economic growth, industrial structure, technological progress, and consumption patterns [19,[31][32].…”

Global warming imperils human survival and development, and carbon emissions from human activities are the main cause of global warming [1]. As the world's largest developing country and a fast-growing economy, China leads the globe in carbon emissions, and its government has promised to cut carbon emission intensity to 40% to 45% of 2005 levels by 2020. Toward this end, it formulated a low-carbon development plan in which low-carbon pilot projects are a key element. Without constraints provided by specialised policy, local governments might ignore the carbon emissions issues to pursue economic growth. Considering this, low-carbon pilot projects are important tools to reduce carbon emissions attendant to economic development.Numerous studies relate economic development and carbon emissions through the mechanism of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) [2]. Applying variant approaches, Halicioglu [3], Puliafito et al. [4], Al-mulali Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 26, No. 6 (2017), 2619-2631 AbstractTaking small-scale areas as research units, this paper empirically explores the dynamic relationship between economic development and carbon emissions from 1995 to 2013 in China's low-carbon pilot provinces. This subject has been neglected in the literature. We first apply decoupling theory to analyse the decoupling of economic development and carbon emissions. We then apply a STIRPAT model and ridge regression to deconstruct the mechanism whereby economic development influences carbon emissions in China's low-carbon provinces. Empirical results show a positive linear correlation between economic development and carbon emissions in the examined provinces. We find that population size and industrial structure most prominently affect carbon emissions; however, per capita wealth, technological progress, and policy factors do not show the expected significance. Our results allow policymakers to formulate lowcarbon policies on the basis of empirically verified situations in the examined regions. They suggest that restricting population growth and transforming industrial structures are the keys to reducing China's carbon emissions.
