This paper estimates the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) of CO2 emissions in China based on a provincial panel for … optimal specification controlling for various covariates is identified econometrically. A scenario simulation of China’s 40 …-45 percent carbon intensity reduction based on our MACC is illustrated. Our simulation results show that China would incur a 559 …

In most countries, environmental regulation focuses on local pollution, which causes damages near the emission source … pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in production, implying that local pollution regulation may either intensify … or reduce global warming concerns. We exploit new data on US GHG emissions and variation in local pollution regulation …

This paper investigates the technical inefficiency, shadow price and substitution elasticity of CO2 emissions of China … output distance function, we show that China's technical inefficiency increases over the period implying further scope for CO …). Additionally, increasingly steep substitution elasticity highlights the difficult reality of reducing China's CO2 emissions. …

China had been singled out by Western politicians and media for dragging its feet on international climate negotiations … paper provides some reflections on China's stance and reactions at Copenhagen. While China's reactions are generally well … rooted because of realities at home, some reactions could have been handled more effectively for a better image of China. The …
