9.5.3 Relationship Between Trade Division and Carbon Intensity
We use industry-level carbon intensity data, the IIT indexes, and industry dummy
variables to analyze the relationship between trade division and carbon intensity.
Running stata10, the results are as follows:
From Table
9.5
we can see that the coefficient of IIT and carbon intensity for
Chinese exports is negative and very significant, indicating that carbon intensity
will be lower if the intra-industry level is higher, and vice versa. The coefficient of
IIT and carbon intensity for Japanese exports is negative but not significant.
