Agricultural Carbon Emissions Embodied in China’s Foreign Trade and Its Driving Factors

Since the development of global trade, involvement agriculture in globalization has been increasing. Globalization and trade have led to separation production consumption, triggering a worldwide relocation agricultural carbon emissions (ACE). By linking ACE database multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model, this paper calculates embodied China’s foreign trade. Moreover, by using Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition method, it analyzes impacts intensity, scale, industrial structure, economic consumption levels, population on ACE. We found that impact is gradually China shifted from net exporter (the export volume 1961 was 13.52 million tons) importer import 2016 40.35 tons). investigating underlying mechanisms, we dominant factor inhibitory effect decline intensity China, contributing 73% increase volume, followed expansion proportion output value GDP, with contribution rates 17 10%, respectively.
