Abstract

This paper studied the role of China’s industrial structural change in aggregate carbon productivity growth of China during 1997-2011. LMDI method is used to measure the impact of shift in carbon source input. The results of this research show that industrial structure effect was negative, and had decreased aggregate carbon productivity. However, industrial structure effect had been different in three sub-periods and in different industries. Carbon source input moved into industries with low carbon productivity rapidly, so aggregate industrial structure effect was negative. Output expansion of industries with low productivity growth rate confronted increasing carbon share, and the other industries with high productivity growth rate were in face of declining carbon share.
