【内容简介】Aiming to support the discussions of climatepolicies from the business perspective, Kansai Research Centre of Institute forGlobal Environmental Strategies (KRC/IGES) arranged a project, namely ‘Market-basedInstruments (MBIs) for Improving Company’s Carbon Performance in Northeast Asia’,during 2010 to 2012. The MBIs project targets the three major economies in thisregion, including Japan, China and the Republic of Korea, and gives the focusto how to design carbon pricing tools acceptable for the industry. This lectureintroduces the research outputs from the MBIs project, particularly theempirical analyses in China. The main contents include the measurement ofenergy saving practices of Chinese companies and the determinants, theestimations of carbon prices affordable for the companies using the approach ofwillingness-to-pay (WTP), and the analysis of company’s preference to thealternatives of carbon pricing policies through a choice experiment. Thislecture may enhance the understanding of company’s opinions to carbon pricingtools, which are viewed cost-effective but always against by the industry.
