报告摘要：

Taking differentiated policies is the key to improving emissions reduction efficiency of provinces, which are the vital in mitigating climate change. This study evaluated the forces driving the differences in CO₂ emissions among multiple regions in China from the perspective of fiscal decentralization. Using the multi-regional logarithmic mean Divisia index decomposition method, a spatial within-between decomposition model was developed to examine differences in reduction policies between the central and local governments. Differences in CO₂ emissions in multiple regions were attributed to the direct and indirect effects of fiscal decentralization and other socio-economic effects. The trend in direct impact of fiscal decentralization had a “U” shape and became a major driving force after 2008. The differences in CO₂ emissions between provinces and the national average were mainly due to differences among emission cluster regions. The direct and indirect impacts of fiscal decentralization had different roles in determining the differences in CO₂ emissions between the provinces and their clustered regional average, and between the latter and the national average.
