This paper calculates GHG emissions from China's hog production at the provincial level using newly published emission factors~ Empirical results show that GHG emissions from China's hog production mainly respond to the scale intensity~ Capital abundance and income contribute positively to GI-IG emissions from hog production. Pork trade increases GHG emissions from China's hog produc- tion with a significantly direct effect, reduces GHG emissions through indirect technique effects.展开更多
