Global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems facing human beings.According to the report released by the Dutch environmental assessment agency,China has become the largest country in terms of total carbon dioxide emissions and increment in the world in 2007.In recent years,the Chinese government has been committed to reducing carbon emissions through various positive policy measures.Carbon emission trading is one of the important carbon emission reduction measures.On October 29,2011,the national development and Reform Commission issued the notice on carrying out carbon emission trading pilot work,which determined to carry out carbon emission trading pilot work in Beijing,Tianjin,Shanghai,Chongqing,Hubei,Guangdong and Shenzhen;on December 19,2017,the national development and Reform Commission issued the national carbon emission trading market construction plan(power generation industry),The national carbon emission trading market was officially launched.It has been seven years since the establishment of the pilot carbon emission trading market in China.The national carbon emission trading market has been started but has not been operated stably and is still under continuous construction and improvement.It is of great significance for China’s energy conservation and emission reduction work to analyze the operation of carbon emission trading pilot and study whether the policy of carbon emission trading market is effective for carbon emission reduction and how to promote the construction and effective operation of the national carbon emission trading market.Based on this background,this paper takes the pilot area of carbon emission trading market as the research object,observes the operation of carbon emission trading market in the pilot area and finds problems in the pilot market,studies the policy effect of carbon emission trading market on carbon emission reduction,and provides policy suggestions for the construction of the national carbon emission trading market.The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the policy effect of carbon emission trading market on carbon emission reduction,and provide policy suggestions for the construction of national carbon emission trading market based on the research results.In order to achieve the research purpose,first of all,comb the development process of China’s carbon emission trading market,and compare the operation effect of seven carbon emission trading market pilots.Then,based on the theoretical analysis,the paper selects the influencing factors of carbon emission,adds the policy dummy variable of carbon emission trading market on the basis of STIRPAT model,and takes Guangdong,Beijing,Shanghai,Tianjin,Hubei and Chongqing as the experimental group and other provinces as the control group based on the panel data of 29 provinces and regions in China from 2007 to2015,and uses the double difference method to logarithm According to the analysis,this paper empirically studies that the policy of carbon emission trading market has a significant impact on carbon emission reduction,and tests the robustness of the results.Furthermore,six provinces and cities,namely Guangdong,Beijing,Shanghai,Tianjin,Hubei and Chongqing,were selected as the experimental groups.According to the carbon emission increment and growth trend of each province from 2007 to 2012,six provinces,namely Shaanxi,Guangxi,Jiangxi,Hainan,Gansu and Yunnan,were selected as the control groups,and classified according to the characteristics of different carbon emission trading markets.On this basis,the double difference method was used for observation The impact of carbon emission trading policies on carbon emission reduction under different characteristics of carbon emission trading market.It is found that carbon emission trading market has a significant role in promoting carbon emission reduction.Different characteristics of carbon emission trading market have different effects on carbon emission reduction.The policy effect of carbon emission trading market with more carbon emission trading volume is better than that of the market with less trading volume,and the comprehensive carbon emission trading market with free as the main and paid as the auxiliary is carbon emission trading market with more carbon emission trading volume The effect of market policy is better than that of free market,and the effect of market policy of high carbon emission right price is better than that of low carbon emission right price market.Finally,according to the research results and the current situation of China’s carbon emission trading market,the paper puts forward corresponding policy suggestions for the construction and operation of China’s carbon emission trading market: coordinating regional balanced development;improving the capacity of government market construction and implementation;adopting the carbon emission trading mode with free as the main and paid as the auxiliary;reasonably regulating the price of carbon emission trading.
