本研究は2006～2019年の中国272都市を対象に、グリーンファイナンスが都市のネットゼロエネルギー移行に与える影響を2SIV-GMMで実証分析。多角的フレームワークで評価した結果、グリーンファイナンスは移行を有意に促進し、特に大・中規模都市や非資源都市で効果が高く、研究投資・高等教育・デジタル経済が媒介。金融市場の成熟度や財政力が増幅要因である。
English
This study empirically examines the impact of green finance on urban net-zero energy transitions using a panel of 272 Chinese cities from 2006-2019. Employing a 2SIV-GMM approach, it finds green finance significantly accelerates transitions, especially in large/medium-sized and non-resource-based cities, via increased scientific investment, higher education, and digital economy. Local financial market maturity and fiscal capacity amplify the effects.

日本のGX文脈において
中国の都市を対象とした実証研究だが、日本でもグリーンファイナンスが自治体のエネルギー転換を促進する可能性があり、地方銀行や自治体がグリーンファイナンスを活用する際の示唆を提供する。特に、金融市場の成熟度や財政力の重要性は日本でも参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides rigorous empirical evidence on how green finance drives urban energy transitions, offering a multidimensional framework that can be applied globally. For countries like Japan, the findings highlight the role of financial market development and fiscal capacity in amplifying green finance effectiveness, informing policy design for local decarbonization.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Achieving net-zero emissions in urban energy systems is essential for meeting global climate goals, yet cities often struggle with inadequate financing, uneven technological adoption, and persistent regional disparities. This study addresses these challenges by constructing a comprehensive panel dataset covering 272 Chinese cities from 2006 to 2019. Using a two-step instrumental variable generalized method of moments (2SIV-GMM) approach, we empirically assess the impact of green finance on urban energy transitions toward net-zero emissions. Departing from traditional single-indicator approaches, we develop a multidimensional framework to evaluate city-level energy decarbonization across economic, institutional, and technological dimensions. The results indicate that: (1) green finance significantly accelerates urban net-zero energy transitions; (2) this effect is most potent in large, medium-sized and non-resource-based cities, likely due to more favorable economic structures and institutional conditions; (3) green finance promotes transition pathways through mechanisms such as increased scientific investment, expansion of higher education and digital economy development; (4) local financial market maturity and fiscal capacity serve as critical amplifiers of these positive outcomes. These findings underscore the pivotal role of green finance in supporting sustainable urban energy systems and offer actionable insights for policymakers seeking to design effective, context-specific interventions.
