Abstract

This paper uses a panel vector error correction model (panel VECM) to examine the impact of Chinese exports of clean technology intensive goods on carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in China’s partners between 2001 and 2013. The results suggest that Chinese exports of clean technology intensive goods play a crucial role in reducing CO₂ emissions in the short run but not in the long term. Finally, Carbon dioxide emissions CO₂ considered an item of demand factors which affect the production of clean technology intensive goods in the long run only. JEL: F₁₈ – O₃
