Energy Economics, 2020, vol. 87, issue C

Abstract: We propose a combination of a structural path analysis (SPA) with the complex network analysis to capture the existence of different sector or industry clusters in the transmission of carbon emissions from China to the rest of world's economy through imports. We used OECD-ICIO input-output framework and identified different types of communities as boosts and suppliers of carbon emissions by type of industry, type of final demand, and the different stages of production.
