Comparison of the spatial paths between industrial transfer and carbon transfer implied by trade based on MRIO

Based on the multi-regional input-output model, industrial transfer and carbon transfer implied by trade between different regions and provinces driven by domestic demand and export in 2012, 2015 and 2017 in China are measured respectively, and the connection and difference between the two spatial transfer paths are compared and analyzed. The results show that the inter-regional industrial transfer and carbon transfer implied by trade driven by domestic demand and export all showed a spatial pattern from coastal regions to inland regions and from south to north; the inter-provincial industrial transfer and carbon transfer implied by trade driven by domestic demand and export mainly showed a spatial pattern from economically developed coastal provinces to economically less developed inland provinces, from south to north; whether driven by domestic demand or export, industrial transfer and carbon transfer paths are similar but not completely consistent. This study can provide a theoretical basis for guiding the rational transfer of industries and carbon emissions implied by trade.
