Abstract

This paper presents a new framework for investigating regional CO2 emissions from the perspective of the domestic supply chain, with a combination of linkage analysis and structural decomposition analysis (SDA), which allows for a better understanding of spatial emission distributions and cross-boundary potential for CO2 mitigation. Based on the multi-regional input–output (MRIO) tables of 2007 and 2012, Chinese provinces (cities) are categorised into three groups according to linkage characteristics, among which, Group I is suggested to be given priority in formulating mitigation policies due to their stronger regional CO2 influence characteristics. Moreover, regions in Group I have been more affected by inter-regional trade than other groups with regard to their local CO2 emissions. Therefore, turning Group I into a low-carbon production pattern could help construct greener domestic supply chains. The results emphasise that regional analysis on CO2 emissions should go beyond the local factors, and that regional mitigation polices should consider the position and participation degree of different regions in domestic supply chains.

中国区域二氧化碳排放和跨界减缓潜力

本文提出了一个从国内供应链角度研究区域二氧化碳排放的新框架，结合联系分析和结构分解分析(SDA)，从而更好地了解二氧化碳排放的空间分布和跨界减缓潜力。基于2007年和2012年的多区域投入产出(MRIO)表，根据关联特征将中国各省(市)划分为三类，其中第一类因其区域CO2影响特征更强，建议优先制定减缓政策。此外，在区域间贸易方面，第一组区域比其他组受到的影响更大。因此，将第一组转变为低碳生产模式有助于构建更加绿色的国内供应链。研究结果强调，CO2排放的区域分析应超越局部因素，区域减缓政策应考虑不同区域在国内供应链中的地位和参与程度。

期刊介绍： Economic Systems Research is a double blind peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the furtherance of theoretical and factual knowledge about economic systems, structures and processes, and their change through time and space, at the subnational, national and international level. The journal contains sensible, matter-of-fact tools and data for modelling, policy analysis, planning and decision making in large economic environments. It promotes understanding in economic thinking and between theoretical schools of East and West, North and South.
