Abstract

Effectively allocating emission control targets is critical for China to achieve its emission reduction goals. This study researched the efficiency of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission control target allocations during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2015–2020). The efficiency of carbon intensity reduction targets, allocated by the National Development and Reform Commission in 30 regions, was assessed using a Directional Distance Function (DDF) model. Then, a Zero-Sum Gains (ZSG)-DDF model was constructed to determine how to optimally allocate total CO2 emission, under the premise of maximizing economic benefits and minimizing CO2 emissions. The results showed that in the case of fixed total CO2 emissions, to improve the resource allocation efficiency, the quota should be increased in the regions with high efficiencies, and the quota should be reduced in the regions with low efficiencies. The results in this paper can help guide the future allocations of total CO2 emission in China.
