Common But Differentiated Responsibility

In the context of economic globalization and production fragmentation, the boom in intermediate and processing trade has made EEIT (emission embodied in international trade) accounting and the recognition of its responsibility more and more complicated, and the drawbacks of traditional gross value statistics more and more conspicuous. The rapid development of global value chain theory in recent years has given rise to a decomposition framework of the trade flow in a country’s export, based on the global value chain, which offers new methods to study EEIT and allocate its responsibility. The combination of global value chain accounting and EEIT research can offer new ways to research EEIT transfer and allocate its responsibility. Utilization of this technique can help understand each country’s “common but differentiated responsibility” in emission reduction. Finally, aiming at the knowledge gaps in current analysis, this paper attempts to discuss the trends, and possible challenges, in research on EEIT, and its responsibility based on the global value chain theory.

Abstract Against the background of economic globalization, sustainable development has attracted increasing attention. Given the boundary limits of jurisdiction, national legal systems are often insufficient to promote sustainability on a transnational level. Intergovernmental agreements and the private self-regulation are at play to fill the gap. As an effective instrument of the latter, sustainable companies’ certification assesses the sustainability of the company as a whole rather than evaluate particular products or services. Although private certification schemes vary greatly across different countries, they are all based on contracts. Three parties are involved in the certification regime, namely certification bodies, companies, and third parties such as customers as well as investors. There are different legal relationships between each two of them. In the case of misleading certification, the German Civil Law provides different approaches to solve disputes according to the legal relationship between the parties.

Corporate codes of conduct, product certifications, process standards, and other voluntary, non-governmental forms of private governance have proliferated in the last two decades. These innovations are a response to social pressures unleashed by globalization and the inadequacy of governmental institutions for addressing its social and environmental impacts. Private governance has had some notable successes, but there are clear limits to what it alone can be expected to accomplish. We hypothesize that the effectiveness of private governance depends on four main factors: 1) the structure of the particular global value chain in which production takes place; 2) the extent to which demand for a firm's products relies on its brand identity; 3) the possibilities for collective action by consumers, workers, or other activists to exert pressure on producers; and 4) the extent to which commercial interests of lead firms align with social and environmental concerns. Taken together, these hypotheses suggest that private governance will flourish in only a limited set of circumstances. With the trend towards consolidation of production in the largest developing countries, however, we also see a strengthening of some forms of public governance. Private governance will not disappear, but it will be linked to emerging forms of multi-stakeholder institutions.

Based on the theory of Global Value Chain (GVC), this paper studies the sustainable development of athletic equipment industrial cluster from the perspective of GVC. This paper first reviews the relevant theories of GVC, and then investigates into the upgrade mode of China’s athletic equipment industrial cluster in the theoretical framework of GVC. Through theoretical analysis and empirical research, the paper puts forward the upgrade idea of China’s athletic equipment industrial cluster, and provides the basis for its development and policy-making.

As a classical trade model, the gravity model plays an important role in the trade policy-making process. However, the effect of physical distance fails to capture the effects of globalization and even ignores the multilateral resistance of trade. Here, we propose a general model describing the effective distance of trade according to multilateral trade paths information and the structure of the trade flow network. Quantifying effective trade distance aims to identify the hidden resistance information from trade networks data, and then describe trade barriers. The results show that flow distance, hybrid by multi-path constraint, and international trade network contribute to the forecasting of trade flows. Meanwhile, we also analyze the role of flow distance in international trade from two perspectives of network science and econometric model. At the econometric model level, flow distance can collapse to the predicting results of geographic distance in the proper time lagging variable, which can also reflect that flow distance contains geographical factors. At the international trade network level, community structure detection by flow distances and flow space embedding instructed that the formation of international trade networks is the tradeoff of international specialization in the trade value chain and geographical aggregation. The methodology and results can be generalized to the study of all kinds of product trade systems.
