	abstract = {China urbanization is associated with both increases in per-capita income and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper uses micro data to rank 74 major Chinese cities with respect to their household carbon footprint. We find that the {\textquotedblleft}greenest{\textquotedblright} cities based on this criterion are Huaian and Suqian while the {\textquotedblleft}dirtiest{\textquotedblright} cities are Daqing and Mudanjiang. Even in the dirtiest city (Daqing), a standardized household produces only one-fifth of that in America{\textquoteright}s greenest city (San Diego). We find that the average January temperature is strongly negatively correlated with a city{\textquoteright}s household carbon footprint, which suggests that current regional economic development policies that bolster the growth of China{\textquoteright}s northeastern cities are likely to increase emissions. We use our city specific income elasticity estimates to predict the growth of carbon emissions in China{\textquoteright}s cities.},
