Abstract:
To tackle the persistent challenges posed by environmental resource limitations, enhancing the quality of intermediate product manufacturing stands pivotal in expediting the attainment of the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals”. This pursuit not only fosters high-quality economic advancement but also fuels the transformation of economic frameworks. Leveraging the WIOD input-output data spanning 2000 to 2014, and commencing with an assessment of reliance on intermediate product imports, we meticulously scrutinized the carbon emission efficiency associated with these imports. Our analysis encompassed rigorous tests for high-dimensional fixed effects, endogeneity, and robustness, unveiling the mechanisms and avenues of influence. Our findings underscore a significant correlation: intermediate product imports markedly bolster carbon emission efficiency. Moreover, both R&D initiatives and economic growth amplify this relationship. Enhancing the caliber of R&D endeavors, facilitating comprehensive consumption upgrades, and sustaining stable economic growth collectively enable intermediate product imports to enhance carbon emission efficiency more effectively. Notably, intermediate product imports might wield a more pronounced incremental impact on carbon emission efficiency within developed nations compared to developing ones. Additionally, its influence on the carbon efficiency of the manufacturing sector might surpass its impact on the service industry. The research illuminates the pivotal role imported intermediates can assume in the realization of the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals”. Encouraging the manufacturing sector's judicious utilization of imported intermediates can foster collaborations and exchanges with foreign entities, expedite the attainment of the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals”, and collectively drive a green transformation.
