本研究は2000年から2023年までのサブサハラ・アフリカ諸国を対象に、エネルギー転換と包摂的成長が負荷容量係数（LCF）と生態学的フットプリント（EFP）に与える影響を、経済的自由度を考慮して分析した。分位回帰の結果、エネルギー転換と経済的自由度はLCFを増加させEFPを減少させることで生態学的持続可能性を高めるが、包摂的成長はまだ生態悪化を緩和する水準に達していないことが示された。都市化と貿易は環境に悪影響を及ぼさない。政策立案者は再生可能エネルギー技術の開発と包摂的成長の促進を求められる。
English
This study analyzes the impact of energy transition and inclusive growth on load capacity factor (LCF) and ecological footprint (EFP) in sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2023, considering economic freedom. Using method of moment quantile regression, it finds that energy transition and economic freedom enhance ecological sustainability by increasing LCF and reducing EFP, while inclusive growth is insufficient. Urbanization and trade show no detrimental effects. Policymakers are urged to promote renewable energy and inclusive growth.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Energy transition has been touted as a viable solution to mitigate the menace of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, this study argues that energy transition is necessary but not sufficient in the absence of inclusivity and economic freedom, which guarantees property rights, government integrity, business freedom, monetary freedom, and investment freedom. Therefore, this study looks at how energy transition and inclusive growth affect the load capacity factor (LCF) and ecological footprint (EFP) in SSA countries from 2000 to 2023, while also considering economic freedom. The findings from the method of moment quantile regression suggest that energy transition and economic freedom boost ecological sustainability in SSA by increasing the LCF and alleviating the EFP, while inclusive growth is not yet at a desirable level capable of mitigating ecological deterioration in the region. Conversely, urbanisation does not appear to be a problem in both models, which could be attributed to the fact that the region has less than 40% of its population living in the urban centers. However, trade has no detrimental effect on the environment when the demand and supply-sides of ecological deterioration are considered. The findings remain robust when the LCF is replaced with the EFP and across alternative estimation techniques. In line with these findings, policymakers are required to improve the development of renewable energy technology and ensure that growth is inclusive while maintaining a high level of economic freedom.
