Abstract:

How the growing foreign trade affects energy consumption and environmental pollution is very important to the sustainable development of society Based on 2007 non-competitive input-output model, this paper calculates China’s energy consumption caused by foreign trade in 2007, and with 2002-2006 data, it finds that China’s net embodied effluent trade has been expanding since 2004, and thus trade is unfavorable to China’s environment and China’s deteriorating terms of trade trends show that the obvious advantages of most departments in terms of trade have been disappearing

Key words: embodied effluent trade, terms of trade, input-output model
