Measuring of China’s Provincial Carbon Abatement Cost and its Spatial Distribution Pattern

Based on the panel data in Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2017, this paper first uses parameterized quadratic function of directional distance estimate carbon abatement costs 30 China, and further studies its long-term evolutionary characteristics. Second, spatial distribution pattern cost. The results show that cost has increased as a whole during study period. Moreover, China shows geographical clustering feature, positive agglomeration is significant after 2008.
