Thus, it is of great importance to measure carbon emissions in international trade and probe into the causes behind them. This paper first applies inputoutput model then it estimates the carbon emissions embodied in China＇s international trade in 2002, 2005 and 2007. Using structural decomposition analysis, this paper measures carbon emissions in international trade by their scale effect, composition effect and intensity effect. Our results illustrate： （1） a rapidly-rising net export of carbon emissions for China, and （2） scale effect and composition effect stimulates carbon emissions embodied in exports, while intensity effect discourages it.展开更多
