Study On The Impact Of Carbon Constraints On The International Competitiveness Of Industry

With the deepening development of the Global Value Chain(GVC),International division of labor is becoming more and more refined,trade between countries and countries also increasingly,and international competition is becoming more and more intense.However,with the increasingly prominent environmental problems such as global warming,haze and so on,countries are paying more attention to environmental protection and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.Making reasonable carbon emission constraint policies is an important way to curb climate warming and achieve energy saving and emission reduction.Under the dual background of increasingly fierce international competition and worsening climate,it is helpful for countries to clarify the impact of carbon emission constraint on the participation of a country’s industry in the global value chain division under the background of global value chain.First of all,based on the past research,this paper analyzes the influence path of the impact of environmental constraints on industrial competitiveness from three aspects: production cost,technological innovation and industrial transfer.Then,uses the global input-output tables and environmental account data provided by WIOD to estimate the industry international competitiveness and carbon emission intensity of all countries during the period from 1995 to 2009.From the calculated results,the developing countries have a relatively strong international competitiveness of the industry in the labor and resource intensive industries,while the developed countries in the capital and technology intensive industry has a relatively strong international competitiveness of industry;overall,the carbon emission intensity in developed countries is lower than those of developing countries.Finally,this paper constructs the measurement model,combined with times difference method investigate the impact of the Kyoto Protocol’s entry into force on the international competitiveness of every country,It also conduct research on primary products and resource products industry,manufacturing industry and service industry.The results show that the improvement of the strict degree of carbon emission constraints is conducive to the improvement of the international competitiveness of the industry.From the perspective of industry,the improvement of the degree of carbon emissions constraint is conducive to the upgrading of the international competitiveness of all industries,and the greatest impact on the primary products and resource products industry,and the smallest impact on the service industry.
