Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the effects of the ratio of domestic value added in exports on firm-level emission intensity in China. It shows that the ratio of domestic value added in exports is negatively associated with firms’ emission discharges. This relation is more profound for firms in ordinary trade than those in processing trade. Further analysis illustrates that the observed relationship is especially prevalent in eastern regions, technology-intensive industries and non-state-owned firms. In addition, it is shown that government behavior could play a moderating role in the negative relationship between value added exports and firms’ emission discharges.
