Özet

China is one of the leading economies in the world in terms of both exports and production, requiring a sophisticated logistical system. Given that transportation causes carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions, this paper analyzes the impact of China’s Airway Freight industry on CO2 emissions through econometric models such as linear regression and the Johansen Co-integration tests, with the ultimate goal of understanding the extent of the freight industry’s influence on carbon dioxide emissions. The effect of airway freight on CO2 emissions has been especially studied between the years 1980 and 2011.
