Photovoltaic bracket for foreign trade

Does trade protection affect global PV trade patterns?

The global PV trade patterns Empirical studies predict that a shock that hits anywhere would be transmitted throughout the trade network ( Prusa, 1997 ). Accordingly, the impact of trade protection on Chinese PV export will inevitably transmit to global PV trade patterns.

Why is the global solar PV product trade important?

The global solar PV product trade plays an important role in facilitating PV product production and utilization and in mitigating climate change. Traded solar cells and modules in 2017 could generate 2325.25 TWh of electricity over their 30-year lifetimes.

Do tariff barriers affect global PV product trade?

The global trade of solar photovoltaic (PV) products substantially contributes to increases in solar power generation and carbon emissions reductions. This paper depicts global PV product trade patterns, explores emissions reduction potential, and evaluates the impeding effect of tariff barriers on global PV product trade and emissions reductions.

What is the global PV trade based on?

The data on global PV trade used in this paper comes from the BACI-CEPII 2 Database, covering 251 global economies from 1996 to 2019. According to the division of the PV industry, the upstream is composed of crystalline silicon raw materials and the preparation of silicon rods and silicon wafers.

How does trade deflection affect China's PV market?

Thus, firms in China are urged to find new markets. As a result, China's PV export to the ROW might increase (trade deflection) while China's PV import from the ROW will decrease (trade depression). The effects of trade destruction and trade diversion have been widely confirmed ( Durling and Prusa, 2006; Park, 2009 ).

What factors affect the global PV trade?

Therefore, the industrialization rates and urbanization rates are also important factors affecting the global PV trade.
