A dataset for the trade information during 2014 – 2017 of seven pilot carbon markets in China

In the carbon market, the research on trade information is conducive to understanding the problems of information disclosure and information transmission in the formation of carbon price. The trading data during 2014 – 2017 of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Hubei, Tianjin and Chongqing were collected from the official websites of seven pilot markets. To ensure the continuity of data, all non-trade dates were removed during the data collection process. This dataset contains comprehensive trade information such as daily transaction volume and daily transaction turnover of each pilot market. It can not only serve as data support for relevant researches such as the analysis of the relationship between volume and price and the research on the effectiveness of carbon market, but also provide experience and reference for the construction of the carbon market nationwide.
