Abstract
By establishing the database for and constructing the GTAP-E model of Reduction
Potential and Control Policy for Chinese Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions, this paper
simulates control policies and the reduction potential of Chinese Agricultural Greenhouse Gas
Emissions. The result is that with a 5% reduction China's GDP is reduced by 0.059%, social
welfare is increased by 1.16 billion U.S. dollars, there is a 22.08% increase in the price of rice
and a 2.9% increase in other crop prices. The price of cattle and sheep increases by 163.43%,
the price of pigs and poultry by 0.57%, while other livestock prices fall by 0.98%. With a 5%
reduction, the competitiveness of agricultural products in the international market will be
reduced, and their export significantly reduced, but increased exports in other sectors result in
China's net exports increasing by USD 4.55 billion. Tax levied on agricultural emissions will
be USD 22.311 billion.
