Copenhagen and Cacun meetings failed to reach an agreement on post-2012 global emissions reduction mechanism, however, developed economies have proposed a policy proposal on climate change and energy, including implementing unilateral trade measures. The paper evaluates how Chinese exports are vulnerable to potential border carbon adjustments based on the assessment of cost increases from the application of carbon price of $20/t CO2 equivalent or $50/t CO2 equivalent, and clearly shows that there are many uncertainties in how border carbon adjustment might be designed. The application of carbon price, the methodology of assessing the carbon content of goods, and the design detail of schemes are key factors for the vulnerability of Chinese exports to potential border carbon adjustment measures.
“碳关税”是具有战略意义的技术性问题.欧盟以技术和标准为依托,以行业试点的方式强势推进.美国以“碳关税”立法推行“绿色新政”,开展新能源产业国际合作.应该认识到“碳关税”是欧美的谈判筹码、政策威慑和利益交换工具.气候变化议题和新能源产业是“碳关税”涉及的实质性问题.我国在温室气体排放问题上要有实质性的实施策略和时间表.建立我国国内的碳排放交易系统,构建我国碳技术标准认证体系.在推进新能源国际合作的同时提防美欧的新能源技术垄断陷阱.
The United States and Korea concluded the FTA in June 2007. Both countries are major export markets for China. There is direct competition between China and either of the two parties in their markets. China's exports will face relatively higher tariffs in the US and Korea compared with those from the FTA parties. Consequently, China's exports will possibly be substituted by Kore- an ones in the US market and by US ones in the Korean market. The paper examines the relative competitiveness of Chinese products to US and Korean ones as well as applied tariff rates in both parties based on HS-2 to estimate the trade substitution effect of US-Korea FTA on various sectors of China. The result shows that in the US market, Chinese textiles and apparel will be significantly substituted by Korean ones, while in the Korean market, a number of Chinese agricultural and industrial products will be negatively affected.
准确把握中国经济开放度,是正确制定下一步对外开放战略的基础。中国是世界上第一大贸易国和吸收外资最多的发展中国家,人们常因此认为中国经济开放度很高。为了全面客观而且简明扼要地考察一国经济的开放程度,本文作者设计了经济开放度指数,并对2006年全球129个国家的开放度指数排序,从中挑选了部分较大经济体进行比较分析,分析得出:中国经济开放度远低于世界平均水平,是世界上经济开放度最低的国家之一;同时,中国在投资领域的开放程度比贸易领域更低。因此,需要进一步大力推进中国的对外开放。这对我们了解国情、把握规律、科学决策提供了有益参考。
经过30多年的改革开放,目前,我国的外贸总额排到了世界的第一位置,有人认为这是中国的经济高开放度的表现,但是,国务院发展研究中心外经部部长隆国强认为,当前中国开放的基本格局是约10年前加入世贸组织谈判时大体确定的,与目前中国国际分工中的地位、综合国力、国际竞争力和转变经济发展方式等要求相比,对外开放已经明显滞后。中国应该进一步加大开放力度,将对外开放推向一个新的高度。
本文通过理论和案例分析,探讨了深度区域一体化的趋势、含义、动因及其对发展中国家经济发展的影响,指出深度一体化正在成为中国参与区域一体化进程的新趋势.在金融危机背景下,中国应注重推进深度一体化战略,深化与中国FTA战略相适的伙伴国的经贸联系,配合国内经济结构调整,逐渐减轻对现有主要贸易伙伴国构成的较为单一的外部市场的依赖.
Through theoretical discussions and analyses on case studies, this article uncovers the trend,the meanings,the motivations of deeper integration,as well as the impact of such phenomenon in the economic development of developing countries.This article identifies three models of current deeper integration practices:North-North,North-South,and SouthSouth, and sees the North-South model as the fastest growing trend in deeper integration initiatives given its lower risks,and greater returns and dynamic.In its section,this article turns to China's growing propensity towards deeper integration in its involvement in regional integration processes. Through the case study of China-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement—a landmark deeper integration agreement which China has signed with a developed economy—this article exhibits how the deeper integration process and negotiation have been effective at balancing the interests of both parties of the agreement.
