Abstract:

• We study short‐term sectoral competitiveness impact of carbon tax in China. • For each sector, we study its carbon cost, GDP share and trade intensity. • A high rate (100yuan/tCO2) may require compensatory measures to certain industries. • A low rate (10yuan/tCO2) would generate few competitiveness problems.
