“…A series of studies have tried to find out the solution to curb the emissions from many aspects [11][12][13][14][15], among which, accounting of the embodied carbon and carbon footprints of China are the major concerns. Lin employed an input-output model to evaluate the embodied carbon dioxide in international trade between China and other countries [16]; Liu detected the energy embodied in international trade of China [17]; Shui did a research on the embodied carbon in US-China trade [18]; while Li focused on the carbon emissions between China and UK [19]; Liu investigated the embodied energy use in China's industrial sectors using an IO model [20]; Zhu conducted an calculation and decomposition of indirect carbon emissions from residential consumption in China [21]; Chen explored the sectoral carbon footprints in 2007 of the whole country and in another paper, the carbon footprints of Beijing [22].…”

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

“…With increasing attention on the issues of climate change and environmental problems, input-output (IO) analysis has become an important analytical tool for environmental policy that is able to capture direct and indirect effects between upstream and downstream producers in a product chain [8,9,[44][45][46][47]. The most commonly used areas based on the IO table are estimates of the EET and the structural decomposition analysis.…”

Examining PM2.5 Emissions Embodied in China’s Supply Chain Using a Multiregional Input-Output Analysis

Abstract:Haze has become an urgent problem for China's highly populated cities. Regional collaboration is an effective method for controlling air pollution. Because air pollution diffuses freely, it is necessary to distribute the responsibility for pollution with a common and differentiated rule. Based on a multiregional input-output model, this article calculated the PM 2.5 emissions embodied in provincial trade (EEPT) of China's 30 provinces in 2007 and 2010. The results show that the PM 2.5 EEPT accounts for almost one-third of the production-based PM 2.5 emissions of China. The economic crisis lowered the EEPT, while the ratio between the EEPT and production-based PM 2.5 emissions has increased. The EEPT values of the eastern provinces are mainly due to the EEPT embodied in final consumption, while the EEPT values of the central, northeastern, and the western provinces are due to the EEPT embodied in the intermediate input. We also analyzed different compositions of EEPT, such as fixed capital formation and consumption. The emissions embodied in provincial imports are mainly due to fixed capital formation. Due to the policies of the West Development, the Rising of Central China, and Promoting the Old Industrial Base in the Northeast, the central government increased the investment to these areas. The ratios of the EEPT embodied in the fixed capital formation to the total EEPT of the central (0.64), northeastern (0.69), and the western provinces (0.65) are higher than that of the eastern provinces (0.62). This indicates that the government need to establish different policies to control the effects of EEPT. In addition to the challenges of regional collaboration, environmental damage and the EEPT should be taken into account. The importers in the collaboration should consider providing compensation to the exporters in the collaboration.

“…Embodied cultivated land in imports (ELI) and embodied cultivated land in exports (ELE) are two important indicators to reflect the trading pattern in terms of cultivated land resources (Chen et al, 2013a). The difference of ELE and ELI is defined as embodied cultivated land trade balance, ELB.…”

Abstract.The recent trend of rapid urbanization draws more and more concerns on the land use pattern in China. This study employs an ecological input-output model to reveal the Guo S., Shen G.Q.P., Chen Z.M., . Embodied cultivated land use in China 1987 to trade pattern, the Agriculture sector is China's largest net importer of cultivated land, in contrast to the Textile sector as the largest net exporter. When China is shown to be a net embodied cultivated land exporter throughout the concerned years, the variation of embodied cultivated land balance is closely related to the country's international trade pattern.
