Spatial Spillover Effects of Industrial Carbon Emissions in China

With the growth of economy, the impact of industrial transfer on carbon emissions gradually appears in the provinces. Employing the spatial econometric model and the data of provinces from 2006 to 2015, it is found that there is a significant correlation between industrial carbon emissions and the spatial distribution in China. The local space indicates the high concentration of carbon emissions includes Hebei, Inner Mongolia Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi (Jin) and Shanxi (Shan) and so on. The industrial transfer in the developed regions deepens the spatial linkage between the economy and the carbon emissions in the provinces, so the spill over effect of carbon emissions gradually appears. This paper puts forward the addition of Inner Mongolia and Liaoning to the existing Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei regional linkage reduced efflux mechanism, adding Shandong to the existing Jiangsu- Zhejiang- Shanghai area linkage reduced efflux mechanism and starting the Henan Shanxi -Shaanxi regional linkage emission reduction to prevent them from using the backward production and transferring the spill over effect cause by the industrial carbon emissions.
