主题：Changes and Driving Forces of Energy Embodied in China’s Intermediate and Final Trade
摘要：China is the world’s biggest energy consumer. Under a growing pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction, it is of great importance for China to adjust foreign trade structure in terms of energy use. Based on the input-output analysis and structural decomposition analysis, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis on the direct and indirect energy resources use and their driving forces related to China’s foreign trade, including both intermediate and final trade, from 1990-2015. Results find that energy resources embodied in China’s foreign trade show a fluctuating upward trend and intermediate trade plays an increasingly important role. China is revealed to change its role from a net exporter of energy resources to a net importer due to the change in intermediate trade. In particular, at the sector level, heavy industry sectors are indicated to dominate China’s foreign trade in terms of energy resources use. At the region level, North-South trade is witnessed to dominate China’s energy resources exports while South-South trade is the main source of imports. The increases in exports and imports per capita are pointed out to contribute to energy resources trade increment the most, whereas the improvement in local energy efficiency and foreign energy efficiency reduces energy resources trade greatly. Results provide important implications for balancing the tradeoff between the extended trade profits and the growing energy demands in China, which further help achieve the goal of sustainable development.
