Abstract:In this paper, the generalized divisia index method is used to decompose the carbon emission into the weighted contribution from 8 kinds of the driving factors during the period 2006 to 2015 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The conclusions are that:(1)the economic scale effect plays a dominant role in increases in China’s carbon emission, but during the “12th Five-Year” period, carbon emissions and GRP contributions to the rate of carbon emission began to decline, which present that the economic growth in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province, while carbon dioxide emissions are gradually reduced;(2)in the decomposition factors, energy consumption intensity and energy consumption carbon intensity have a weak negative effect on carbon emission, but the output carbon intensity has the biggest inhibiting effect on carbon emission, and the inhibition effect exceeds the total of all other inhibiting factors, which shows that low-carbon technological progress is the decisive factor of energy saving and emission reduction; (3)population growth plays a stimulating role in the carbon emission, and as a result of the population urbanization ratio and consumption habits, the decomposition of per capita carbon emissions shows in different results in three regions, while Beijing is a restraining factor, while Tianjin and Hebei are pulling forces.
