Abstract

This paper studies this relationship between free trade and carbon dioxide emissions by utilizing the time series data collected from the year 1981 to 2010. The study shows: there’s a long-term equilibrium relationship between trade liberalization and carbon dioxide emissions in China; a unidirectional causality exists from Foreign Trade Dependency to carbon dioxide emissions, while the causality between FDI Dependency and carbon dioxide emissions is bidirectional.
