Technological progress, industrial structure and China’s industrial carbon emissions

Abstract

Abstract: This paper divides the environmental effect of carbon emissions change into scale effect, structure effect, environment protection technology effect, production technology effect, mixed technology effect, structural production technology effect, structural environment protection technology effect, and overall effect by means of difference models based on extension of the decomposition model of environmental effects, which aims at empirically analyzing the contribution of technological progress, the adjustment of industrial structure and energy structure to carbon emissions reduction in China's industrial sectors from 1998 to 2010. The conclusions reveal that production technology effect and structure effect obviously reduce the industrial carbon emissions; on the contrary, scale effect and structural production technology effect evidently increase the industrial carbon emissions. In addition, compared with high carbon emissions industries, the positive influence of production technology effect and structure effect in middle and low carbon emissions industries are more obvious.

Key words: industrial carbon emissions, decomposition of environmental effect, technological progress, industrial structure
