Data for: Technology diffusion under contraction and convergence: A CGE analysis of China

Abstract of associated article: This paper introduces a mechanism of international technology diffusion via FDI and imports into recursive-dynamic CGE modeling for climate policy analysis. As a novel feature, the mechanism distinguishes spillovers from foreign do domestic capital within sectors and across sectors within the production chain. The paper applies the mechanism to the analysis of a contraction and convergence type climate policy focusing on China. The mechanism of international technology diffusion leads to an increase in China's energy productivity an a decline in China's economic growth rates in a convergence process. In this case, inter-regional emissions trading could (more than) compensate China's welfare losses due to climate policy. Otherwise, China's welfare losses due to climate policy could be significant.关联论文摘要：本文提出一种通过外商直接投资（Foreign Direct Investment, FDI）与进口渠道实现国际技术扩散的机制，并将其纳入递归动态可计算一般均衡（recursive-dynamic Computable General Equilibrium, CGE）模型，用于气候政策分析。作为一项创新性特征，该机制区分了生产链内同部门间以及跨部门间的外商资本对国内资本的技术溢出效应。本文将该机制应用于聚焦中国的紧缩型趋同气候政策分析。在趋同进程中，该国际技术扩散机制可提升中国的能源生产率，同时降低中国的经济增长率。在此情形下，区域间碳排放权交易能够（超额）抵消气候政策给中国带来的福利损失。反之，气候政策给中国造成的福利损失可能会十分显著。
