Abstract: |
We estimated total CO2 emissions of Japan
and South Korea for 1990 using the familiar input-output model. The
differences in CO2 emission between two countries are decomposed into
their components, and effects of international trade on domestic CO2
emissions are analyzed for both countries. We show that, even though the
absolute level of emission is much lower in South Korea than in Japan,
total emission intensities are generally higher in the former. Korean
exports to Japan are more emission intensive than the reverse, while
exports of both countries to the rest of the world are more emission
intensive than their bilateral trade. |
