本研究は、2000年から2022年までのサブサハラアフリカ35カ国を対象に、金融包摂が炭素強度に与える影響を分析。主成分分析による包括的金融包摂指数を用い、固定効果・操作変数・拡張平均群推定量で頑健性を確認。結果、金融包摂は炭素強度を有意に低減し、再生可能エネルギー消費と技術革新が媒介経路として機能することを示した。
English
This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on carbon intensity in 35 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2022. Using a composite index via PCA and robust estimators, it finds that financial inclusion reduces carbon intensity, with renewable energy and innovation as mediating channels. Results support climate mitigation and just energy transition in Africa.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on carbon intensity in 35 Sub‐Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2022. Using a composite financial inclusion index derived via principal component analysis, the study employs fixed effects, instrumental variables, and augmented mean group estimators to ensure robustness. The findings reveal that financial inclusion significantly reduces carbon intensity, with renewable energy consumption and technological innovation acting as key mediating channels. Heterogeneity analysis highlights stronger effects in middle‐income and Southern African countries, underscoring the importance of regional development dynamics. The results underscore the roles of inclusive finance in supporting climate mitigation and low‐carbon development pathways in Africa. The findings align with regional policy priorities and sustainable development objectives, suggesting that financial access can facilitate a just energy transition to low‐carbon growth. The results suggest that promoting financial access can support a just energy transition and low‐carbon growth in Africa. Policy recommendations target regulators, development partners, and financial institutions seeking to align financial deepening with environmental and energy planning across the continent.
