Mapping China's flows of emissions in the world's carbon footprint: A network approach of production layers

We propose a combination of a structural path analysis (SPA) with the complex network analysis to capture the existence of different sector or industry clusters in the transmission of carbon emissions from China to the rest of worlds economy through imports. We used OECD-ICIO input-output framework...
