Abstract：The influence of Guangdong's foreign trade embodied carbon would have been decomposed into the scale effect, structure effect and technical effect through the structural decomposition analysis method by using the input-output data in 1997—2011.The results show that:①from 1997 to 2011, the contribution of scale effect on exports embodied carbon grows up to 427 million tons while the quantity imported carbon emissions increased 323 million tons.Technology effects on exports embodied carbon's contribution grows up to -342 million tons while the quantity of imported carbon emissions decreased 287 million tons.Structure effect has a weaker impact on both import and export of implicit carbon while it is conducive to reduce its carbon emissions on the whole.②In terms of sector structure decomposition, mechanical equipment manufacturing industry is the department that increase the most in export embodied carbon quantity.Textile clothing industry is the department that decreases the most in exported embodied carbon quantity.The quantity of imported carbon emissions increased the most in mechanical equipment manufacturing industry.The quantity of imported carbon emissions decrease the most in chemical industry.The quantity of imported carbon emissions decrease the most in chemical industry.
