Abstract

Technological progress is an important way to achieve carbon emission reduction, and its effect on the carbon emission effect of forest products trade in China needs to be further explored. Based on this, we selected woody forest products as a typical representative of forest products, and used the data of 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities from 2010 to 2019 in China to establish a dynamic panel model to explore the impact of wood forest product trade on carbon emissions in China through systematic GMM method, and analyzed the mechanism of different technological progress paths. The results show that the direct effect of trade in forest products leads to the increase of carbon emissions from forest products, which has a negative impact on the environment. While the technical effect has a positive impact, the technical aspects such as utilization efficiency still need to be improved. The intermediate effect test of the technology introduction path is established, while the independent innovation is not conspicuous, and it is confirmed that technological progress does not play an “intermediary role”, but suppresses the direct negative impact of foreign trade on the environment instead. Based on the above-mentioned findings, we made further prospects for the sustainable development of forest products trade of China.
- woody forest products,
- carbon emissions,
