中国成为国际社会关注的主要焦点有两个因素：世界上最大的贸易国和最大的碳排放国，这两者都与中国的加工贸易有关。加工贸易是一种对外外包贸易，既促进了中国的出口，也部分增加了中国的二氧化碳排放。然而，中国正在进行一项旨在通过降低加工贸易比重来升级贸易结构的贸易改革。本文利用扩展的世界投入产出数据库，结合中国的微观数据，研究了加工贸易在中国出口增长和二氧化碳排放中的作用。此外，我们还将评估中国的贸易改革和经济放缓对出口结构变化的影响，以及未来对加工贸易和二氧化碳排放的影响。我们的结论是，中国的出口结构改革可能会将其他发展中经济体纳入全球供应链，这可能会导致全球排放量的减少，因为这些国家的排放强度低于中国。(C)2019爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
China becomes major focus of international society for two factors: the largest trading country and the largest carbon emitter in the world, both of them are associated with China's processing trade. Processing trade is a sort of foreign outsourcing trade which promoted China's export as well as partially increased China's CO2 emissions. However, China is conducting a trade reform aims at upgrade its trade structure by reducing the proportion of processing trade. This paper studies the role of processing trade in China's export growth and CO2 emissions using an extended World Input Output Database (WIOD) with China's micro data. In addition, we will assess the impact of China's trade reform and economic slowdown to the structural change of export and its effect on processing trade and CO2 emissions in the future. We conclude that structural reform of export in China would likely involve other developing economies in global supply chains, and this may lead to a reduction in global emissions as those countries have lower emission intensities than China.
