Abstract

This study clarified the factors behind the change in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China using the deviation from proportional growth (DPG) analysis, which is an application of input−output analysis. The target periods include 2007–2012 and 2012–2017. The factors of consumption and investment were positive, and the export factor was negative throughout each as factors for changes in output in each industry. In the second period, the consumption factor expanded rapidly and became overwhelmingly positive; however, the investment factor shrank. The Chinese economy has changed from export-led to domestic demand-led, and even among domestic demand, it has changed to consumption-led. The major factors behind the change in CO2 emissions were the CO2 reduction effect due to changes in technology and emissions coefficients throughout both periods; the power and heat supply industry had a large negative impact, and power saving in other Chinese industries also progressed. Comparing the first and second periods indicated that the negative magnitude of DPGs of CO2 emissions in all industries expanded in the second period, and energy-saving accelerated in each industry.
