... Equally important is the need to understand how the different specifications of including trade in emissions accounting may vary, considering the differential roles of producer, consumer, and intermediary trading countries in reducing emissions. Indeed, previous studies have discussed and estimated the disparity in results between the conventional production-based emissions accounting approach versus a more consumptionbased approach in which trade (i.e., imports and exports) is also adjusted for 7,9,[11][12][13][14] . ...

... Esta corriente teórica estipula que un incremento en el salario mínimo obligatorio generaría desempleo involuntario y reduciría el empleo (bajo el supuesto de que las funciones de oferta y demanda de trabajo no cambian como resultado del incremento del salario mínimo). Entre los trabajos cuyos resultados coinciden con las predicciones de este enfoque teórico en la literatura se encuentran: Neumark & Wascher (Brown, 1999), Burkhauser, Couch, & Wittenburg (2000), Zavodny (2000), Pereira (2003), Alatas & Cameron (2008), Huang, Loungani, & Wang (2014), Clemens & Wither (2019), entre otros. ...

... In 2008, China's Labor Contract Law came into effect, significantly increasing the percentage of workers with formal labor contracts (Freeman and Li 2015;Gallagher et al., 2015) and contributing to a more consistent enforcement of labor regulations across Chinese cities (Huang et al. 2014). In the absence of a mature mechanism for negotiations between labor and capital, many firms use the local minimum wage rate as their reference point in setting wage levels. ...

... Guranin, 2018; Dong et al., 2021). The developed DI prevents some unexpected scenarios where the indexes outcomes lead to huge differences across each other because of the use of a different base period (Cohen et al., 2018;Wang et al., 2018;Wu et al., 2018;Yang et al., 2018;Wang and Jiang, 2019). Some scholars have utilized decomposition analysis as a means to analyze the factors that affect the index (Zhao et al., 2016;Meng et al., 2018;Wang et al., 2018). ...

... Balancing carbon reduction with sustainable economic growth is among China's most pressing challenges (Fu et al., 2021). The nation's economic decisions ripple globally, impacting efforts to mitigate carbon emissions worldwide (Cohen et al., 2019). China has repeatedly pledged solemn commitments to carbon reduction on the international stage and has taken active measures to fulfill these promises. ...

... Fang and Lin (2015) use data from the Urban Household Survey (UHS) and find that minimum wage increases have significant negative effects on employment in the Eastern and Central regions of China. Huang et al. (2014) study a sample of neighbor county pairs with difference in minimum wage hikes and find that minimum wage increases have no significant adverse effect on employment during 2000-2002, and the effect of minimum wage increases becomes highly significant and more negative during 2003-2007. The relationship between minimum wages and income inequality is more consistent. ...

... Moreover, the conditions and development of companies and cities may affect local CO2 emissions, which may have an impact on urban temperature changes (Ang, 2007). Therefore, we refer to Jin et al. (2020) and control the firm-level variables such as firm size (SIZE), asset-liability ratio (LEV), equity concentration (OW) and fixed asset ratio (FIX), as well as city-level variables 1 such as regional population (POPU), regional GDP, industrial pollution control costs (POL) and foreign investment (INV) in the benchmark regression to mitigate endogeneity problems arising 1 It should be noted that since county-level data of industrial pollution control costs and foreign investment are not available, we refer to the existing literature and set all regional control variables at the municipal level (Huang et al., 2014;Feng et al., 2015;Gan et al., 2016;Mo, 2018;Kasahara and Li, 2020). from omitted variables. ...

... In addition, Chinese firms may expect higher productivity from workers in receipt of a higher minimum wage, even increasing employment if wage levels and profit margins are high (Huang et al., 2014). Since the beginning of China's economic reforms, labour productivity has remained high despite workers' deteriorating bargaining power and declining wage share (Piovani, 2014). ...
