Abstract | In the accounting of future global carbon emission and design of distribution mechanism, international trade and division have become indispensable and significant factor. Based on the demonstration references comparing with the present international trade embodied carbon emission accounting, this research finds that the accounting results have remarkable inconsistency even though adopting the same accounting method, data and accounting frame. This paper points out that the reasons of inconsistent accounting results are the choice of technology coefficients and the accounting assumption of import trade. Moreover, based on the reason analysis the suggestions of filtering research methods are proposed. Finally, this paper measures the total change, regional distribution and industry characteristics of embodied carbon in the international trade of years 1997-2007. |
