Estimating the Rebound and Reduce Effect of Low Carbon Policy in Shanghai Industrial Sectors

Abstract:

The economic growth in Shanghai is fast and its level of social development has reached that of the moderately developed countries, while shanghai has also been one of the highest CO2 cities. It has adopted many measures to control climate change. The rebound and reduce effect model has been used to analysis the effectiveness of the control of CO2 in the process of low-carbon policy implementation in Shanghai. This model will help policymakers reconsider the implication and limitation of low carbon policy. The results show that currently many policies used in Shanghai are of emergency, and rebound effect is obvious. However, these efficiency-oriented measures are suitable for Shanghai's own development needs.
