This paper constructs a matching index model to research the matching degree of embodied carbon trade and value-added trade among eight regions and 31 provinces in China in 2012 and 2015. The study finds that (1) At the regional level, a mismatch is shown between embodied carbon trade and value-added trade among regions, for example, in 2015, the northwest region has output embodied carbon to the north coast, while input the value-added trades from the north coast. (2) At the provincial level, a mismatch is displayed between embodied carbon transaction and value-added trade, for example, Beijing had a net shift of embodied carbon from Xinjiang in 2015, but Xinjiang had a net transfer of added value from Beijing. Therefore, the Chinese government needs to establish an ecological compensation mechanism to improve the mismatch between embodied carbon trade and value-added trade among Chinese regions (provinces).
本文构建了一个匹配指数模型,以研究 2012 年和 2015 年中国 8 个地区和 31 个省份之间的隐含碳贸易与增值贸易的匹配程度。研究发现:(1)在区域层面上,区域间隐含碳贸易与增值贸易之间存在不匹配,例如,2015 年,西北地区向北部沿海地区输出隐含碳,而从北部沿海地区输入增值贸易。(2)在省级层面上,隐含碳交易与增值贸易之间存在不匹配,例如,2015 年北京从新疆净转移隐含碳,但新疆从北京净转移附加值。因此,中国政府需要建立生态补偿机制,以改善中国各地区(省份)之间隐含碳贸易与增值贸易之间的不匹配。
