区域贸易协定环境条款与制造业出口隐含碳排放
Environmental provisions in regional trade agreements and carbon emissions embodied in manufacturing exports
摘要
Abstract
Environmental provisions in regional trade agreements(RTAs)represent an important external pathway affecting carbon emissions.Using matched data from the World Trade Organization RTA database and the OECD input-output database from 2005 to 2018,this study examined the impact of environmental provisions in RTAs on carbon emissions embodied in China's manufacturing ex-ports.The findings revealed that the implementation of environmental provisions in RTAs significantly inhibited the carbon emission in-tensity of China's manufacturing exports with more pronounced effects observed in heavily polluting industries and among trading part-ners in developing countries.Compared with the comprehensiveness of environmental provisions,the impact of mandatory environmen-tal provisions on carbon emissions embodied in manufacturing exports was more pronounced.Further mechanism test results showed that only mandatory environmental provisions could suppress carbon emissions embodied in exports through green innovation.In other cases,there was a'substitution'relationship between the impact of green innovation and environmental provisions on such emissions.Additionally,environmental provisions could not suppress carbon emissions embodied in exports through green subsidies.Only manda-tory environmental provisions could facilitate the reduction of carbon emissions embodied in exports by optimizing the industrial struc-ture.Furthermore,a mutual'substitution'relationship existed between the impact of environmental regulations of the exporting coun-try and environmental provisions in RTAs on carbon emissions embodied in exports.This study provides policy implications for optimiz-ing the design of environmental provisions in China's RTAs and improving the governance of export carbon emissions:① Prioritize mandatory provisions,and effectively coordinate the roles of RTAs with domestic environmental regulations to control export carbon emissions.② Actively promote green technology innovation while cautiously implementing green subsidy policies.③ Promote high-lev-el institutional openness to establish a coherent domestic system for economic and environmental governance.关键词
