基于多区域投入产出模型，研究了1995 - 2015年中国与45个贸易伙伴的国际贸易中环境损失相对于经济收益的时间变化及其驱动力。我们发现，中国在每一美元出口增加值中遭受的环境损失，几乎比所有贸易伙伴都要大。随着时间的推移，中国支付的环境损失下降速度快于其双边贸易伙伴。我们研究的分解结果进一步表明，技术效应在这种下降中起主导作用。此外，发达经济体通过中间产品贸易将肮脏的中间生产阶段外包给新兴经济体的现象，导致新兴经济体为了从国际贸易中获得一定的经济利益，随着时间的推移遭受更大的环境损失。(C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Based on a multi-regional input-output model, this study explores the temporal changes and driving forces of China's environmental losses relative to its economic gains from international trade with each of its 45 trading partners from 1995 to 2015. We find that China suffered larger environment losses per $US value-added through exports than almost all of its trading partners. Over time, the environmental losses paid by China declined quicker than that of its bilateral trading partners. The decomposition results of our research further show that the technology effect played a dominant role in this decline. Moreover, the phenomenon that developed economies have outsourced dirty intermediate production stages to emerging economies via trade in intermediate goods, has led to the emerging economies suffering greater environmental losses over time for certain economic gains from international trade.
