Abstract

We calculate the balance of carbon embodied in trade (BCET) between China and France during 1996-2005.?Our results confirm China?s role as a net carbon exporter and the fast increasing trend of the surplus in BCET since China?s adhesion to the World Trade Organization.?However, the quasi-totality of the carbon surplus is due to China?s low carbon efficiency.?The part of carbon emission discharged on China?s territory that is directly transferred from France via trade stays very little (1-2 %).?The bilateral trade between China and France seems to continue benefiting mainly from their difference in factor endowment; the environmental regulation related comparative advantage plays only a marginal role. Classification JEL : Q56, Q54, N74, N75.
