Summary: The Chinese government has announced at the 75th United Nations General Assembly its determination to peak carbon emissions before 2030 by improving its independent contribution and adopting more powerful measures. However, strict implementation of carbon reduction policies will inevitably come at the cost of economic development. This paper calculates the average social cost of emission reduction using shadow price, depicts the pressure to reduce carbon emissions based on marginal abatement cost, and provides an optimal provincial emission reduction scheme to minimize national cost based on a variable-coefficient model. The results suggest the possibility of carbon transactions between regions, indicate increasing economic costs with future economic development, and propose an optimal allocation scheme for CO2 reduction that outperforms administrative approaches.

Summary: Despite the lack of official documentation on the determination of the current sectoral coverage plan and preferred sectoral rollout plan of China's ETS, this study suggests a priority list of industries to be included. Using a comprehensive database, we estimate marginal abatement cost curves for over 500 four-digit industries, which account for more than 97% of industrial emissions. Our analysis highlights the cement industry as the next sector to be included in China's ETS, with potential cost reductions of 39.5-78.3% compared to the business-as-usual scenario.

Summary: In order to achieve its climate targets, China needs a clear decarbonization strategy to address its significant carbon emissions. This study utilizes a model to explore different decarbonization pathways and their cost-benefits under two mitigation scenarios in China. The results show that sector interactions and a more ambitious abatement strategy can have positive effects on reducing carbon emissions.

Summary: Using the shadow cost approach and industry level data, this study estimates the marginal abatement costs (MACs) of reducing GHG emissions in Canada. Based on a Hyperbolic Output Distance Function (HODF) and stochastic frontier estimation, we obtain an average shadow MAC of $130/t across 30 industries, accounting for GHG emissions caused by energy consumption. The low-MACs sectors, which represent 98% of total GHG emissions and 94% of total energy use in the industries studied, indicate that the envisioned $50/t carbon levy could potentially lead to significant GHG abatement in Canada.

Summary: This study combines structural decomposition analysis and input-output subsystem analysis to study the key drivers of China's carbon dioxide emissions. By analyzing the influence of various factors on carbon dioxide emissions, it is found that intersectoral pulling effects, particularly from the Construction sector, contribute to the increase in emissions. The study also highlights the importance of changing the current energy structure to reduce emissions, with the technical progress and energy structure optimization scenarios predicted to achieve peak emissions in 2025 and 2030, respectively.

Summary: Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions comes with costs, and estimating the marginal abatement cost of CO2 emissions (MCAC) is crucial for decision-making. This study contributes by considering different abatement options and revealing that the MCAC can be negative if switching to lower carbon fuel generates profit. They develop a new approach for estimating the MCAC, considering six alternative abatement options. A case study on China's thermal power industry shows that the least-cost abatement option varies across provinces and years, with switching to cleaner energy being a cost-effective option in most cases.

Summary: This paper estimates the least marginal abatement cost (MAC) of CO2 for Chinese iron and steel enterprises using a stochastic semi-nonparametric method, considering inefficiency and random noise. The study takes into account multiple measures for reducing emissions, including downscaling production activity and increasing investment. The results indicate that labor is identified as the least-cost abatement measure for most of China's top 500 iron and steel enterprises. Policy implications are put forward to reduce carbon abatement cost in the industry.

Summary: This article analyzes the impact of new weak and strong commensurability conditions on efficiency measurement, especially on productivity measurement. If strong commensurability is not satisfied, a productivity index may exhibit a homogeneity bias, leading to inconsistent and contradictory results. In particular, the Luenberger productivity indicator is sensitive to proportional changes in input-output quantities, while the Malmquist productivity index is not affected by such changes.

Summary: Improving technological innovation efficiency and eco-efficiency is crucial for achieving a high-quality and sustainable mining industry in China. This study applies a two-stage DEA model to measure the mining technological innovation efficiency (MTIE), mining eco-efficiency (MEE), and mining comprehensive efficiency (MCE) of 30 provinces in China. The findings show the impact of mining economic development on MCE, regional differences in MTIE and MEE, and the need for efficiency optimization through different paths. Policy recommendations are provided to guide the high-quality development of the Chinese mining industry.

Summary: The use of directional distance function (DDF) has increased in empirical studies, particularly in health economics for modeling hospital technology. The choice of direction in modeling with DDF is a crucial issue. This study proposes an approach to address the choice of direction and applies it to U.S. hospitals. The findings show that publicly owned non-teaching hospitals face substantial opportunity costs in inpatient care, while urban-area teaching hospitals have a higher substitution rate for nurses compared to public non-teaching hospitals and rural-area hospitals.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the Chinese government's provincial reduction targets on the marginal abatement cost of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) for industrial firms. Using a unique nationwide firm-level database, the study estimates the shadow prices of SO2 and COD emissions for industrial firms and finds that the setting of provincial reduction targets significantly increases the shadow prices of these two pollutants. The study also reveals heterogeneity in the effect of the reduction targets across different types of firms and regions.

Summary: This study examines the impact of transport infrastructure and technological innovation on economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon emissions in the European Union. The results show that increased energy consumption leads to economic growth, while economic growth and energy consumption have opposite effects on carbon emissions. Technological innovation directly contributes to economic growth and energy consumption, while freight transport infrastructure increases economic growth and carbon emissions while reducing energy consumption.

Summary: Estimating the shadow price of CO2 emissions for China's coal-fired power plants from 2005 to 2010 using a conventional approach combined with quantile regression resulted in lower average estimates compared to ordinary least square regression and standard SFA. Coastal provinces and municipalities were found to have higher shadow prices of CO2 emissions, indicating a higher cost for low-carbon transition in these regions.

Summary: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) aims to promote carbon reduction and sustainable development, but the uneven distribution of CDM projects in developing countries is influenced by economic conditions, international trading experience, and energy demands. For countries with fewer CDM projects, industrial level and national carbon emissions are not significant factors affecting the distribution of CDM projects.
