Abstract
In recent years globalization has proceeded, and there is growing concern about Carbon-Leakage problem. In this paper we have calculated the index of embodied CO2 emission intensity among Japan, U. S. A. and Asian countries, which was derived from the I-0 table originally, and also factors of its change were examined. As a result, it was found that Asian countries had heavily induced the CO2 emission loads on Japan, U. S. A. and China, and major factor of the change for the worse of it was sudden increase of the trade with foreign countries. In particular, increase of the trade with China seems to cause several countries worse off about it.
