In order to dynamically investigate the historical evolution of CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emissions induced by consumption and fixed capital investment, this paper defines the concepts of consumption-type emission (CPE) and construction-type emission (CTE). It also proposes the ratio of consumption-type emission to...</small></sub>
