The influence of US and China's CO2 transfer embodied in final consumption on Global emission

摘要

US and China had special role to lead the greenhouse gas mitigation process set by Paris Agreement.Their different development phase determines consumption pattern may vary.In addition,traditional production inventory has shortages as it does not consider C02 transfer caused by trade activity.Hence,we want to calculate consumption-based CO2 emission(CBE)volume by input-output analysis of US and China and specify their impact on the whole world.The results showed that CBE of US experienced increasing first and decreasing later variation during 1993 to 2013 while that of China kept rising.Household and fixed capital formation are both two largest consumption types for US and China.
