Summary/Abstract |
The Free Economic Zone of Xiamen, which has been acting as China's window to the outside world for 37 years, an experimental field of reforms and openness, has made a significant contribution to the economic restructuring and socialist modernization of the country. The experience of Xiamen deserves a comprehensive and deep analysis. Based on the facts set out in the article, the authors attempt to assess the prospects for the development of the Xiamen SEZ.

Summary/Abstract |
Consumption accounting of urban greenhouse gas emissions is preferable to production accounting, because cities are open systems which depend on the import of large quantities of externally produced goods. In this paper we use environmental input-output analysis to construct CO2 production and consumption accounting inventories for Xiamen, a rapidly developing coastal city in southeast China. We found that, in 2007, total emissions embodied in production were 21.8 Mt CO2, of which 17.1 Mt CO2 were embodied in exports and 4.7 Mt CO2 resulted from local demand on local production. If the large amounts of emissions embodied in the Xiamen reprocessing trade are excluded from the analysis, total imported emissions were 12.2 Mt CO2, consumption emissions were 16.9 Mt CO2, and Xiamen was a net exporter of 4.9 Mt CO2. Although Xiamen's rapid economic growth is dependent on large-scale flows of embodied emissions, most of these emissions are not produced or consumed within the city system.
