Impact Factors of Embodied Carbon on Export Trade - Based on the Research of Liaoning Province

Abstract:

This paper measures the amount of embodied carbon emissions of export trade in 2002, 2007 and 2012. Then by using LMDI method, it decomposes the impact factors on the measuring result of above years. It comes to a conclusion: the expansion of trade is the main factor that increased the embodied carbon emissions; the development of technology is the main factor that decreased the embodied carbon emissions; trade structure effect plays a limited role.
