2000-2020年のMENAおよび南コーカサス10カ国を対象に、デジタル化とイノベーションがCO2排出に与える影響をFMOLSと分位パネル回帰で分析。経済成長はCO2排出を増加させる一方、デジタル化とイノベーションは排出削減に寄与することを確認。環境クズネッツ曲線仮説を支持し、持続可能な低炭素成長に向けた政策支援の重要性を示唆。
English
This study examines the dual impact of digitalization and innovation on CO2 emissions in eight MENA and two South Caucasus countries from 2000-2020 using FMOLS and quantile panel regression. Results show that economic growth increases CO2 emissions (supporting the EKC hypothesis), while digitalization and innovation significantly reduce emissions. The findings underscore the importance of policy support for R&D and digital transformation to achieve sustainable low-carbon growth.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は中東・北アフリカ・南コーカサス地域に焦点を当てており、日本とは地理的にも政策的にも直接的な関連は薄い。しかし、デジタル化とイノベーションが排出削減に果たす役割は、日本のGX推進策（特にDXとGXの統合）において参考になる。日本の企業や政策立案者は、エネルギー転換とデジタル化の相乗効果を考慮する際に示唆を得られる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence from the MENA and South Caucasus regions on how digitalization and innovation can drive CO2 emission reductions. While region-specific, its findings are globally relevant for policymakers and businesses exploring the intersection of digital transformation and decarbonization. The study supports the EKC hypothesis and highlights the need for integrated policies that promote both digitalization and innovation for climate mitigation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT The convergence of energy transition and digitalization represents two pivotal trends in the global economy that complement each other. The decrease in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is facilitated by larger Internet access and more substantial investments in research and development. This study sheds light on the dual impact of digitalization and innovation on CO 2 emissions in the eight Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and two South Caucasus countries in 2000–2020. The article reveals the nuanced role of economic growth in shaping greenhouse gas emission patterns and underscores the important role of digitalization in mitigating CO 2 emissions. With the use of FMOLS and quantile panel regression methods, the study proved a positive relationship between digitalization and GDP growth, with digital solutions driving economic expansion. Economic growth shows a clear positive correlation with CO 2 levels, supporting the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis of an inverted U‐shape relationship between economic development and CO 2 emissions in developing and emerging economies. Digitalization and innovations, on the contrary, contribute to CO 2 emissions mitigation. These results underscore the importance of policy support for research and development and digital transformation to promote sustainable, low‐carbon growth.
