Water Footprint Analysis Under Dual Pressures of Carbon Mitigation and Trade Barrier: A CGE‐Based Study for Yangtze River Economic Belt

Abstract Facing the dual pressures of carbon mitigation and trade barrier, it is desired that variations of water footprints (WFs) with the related policy interferences be investigated in Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). In this study, a factorial equilibrium WFs model is developed to (a) tackle the interactive effects (on blue‐ and gray‐WFs) of different policy alternatives presented as multiple levels of carbon tax and import tariff; (b) …
