Abstract:

We estimated total CO 2 emissions of Japan and South Korea for 1990 using the familiar input-output model. The differences in CO 2 emission between two countries are decomposed into their components, and effects of international trade on domestic CO 2 emissions are analyzed for both countries. We show that, even though the absolute level of emission is much lower in South Korea than in Japan, total emission intensities are generally higher in the former. Korean exports to Japan are more emission intensive than the reverse, while exports of both countries to the rest of the world are more emission intensive than their bilateral trade.[F14]
