服务贸易开放度与碳排放 ——基于1995~2009年跨国面板数据的实证分析

在世界服务贸易取得迅猛发展的同时,全球面临的环境问题也日益突出。基于1995~2009年的国际面板数据,本文构建计量模型对服务贸易开放度与碳排放的关系进行了实证分析。实证检验发现,在全样本区间内,服务贸易开放度与二氧化碳排放呈倒U型关系;依收入水平分组的实证检验发现,高收入国家服务贸易开放度的提高可以显著减少二氧化碳的排放,中低收入国家则不显著,而中高收入国家服务贸易开放度与碳排放呈倒U型关系。

Openness of Services Trade and Carbon Emissions: Based on Multinational Panel Data during 1995~2009

Using multinational panel date during 1995 and 2009 and fixed effect model, this paper attempts to study the relationship between services trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions by the empirical test. Results show that in the sample range, the services trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions are inverted U-shaped relationship. Based on this, the study of high income countries show that services trade openness can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the middle income countries are not significant, and upper middle income countries are inverted U-shaped relationship.
