ラテンアメリカ16カ国を対象に、環境指標（エコロジカル・フットプリントとエコロジカル・デフィシット）の選択がエネルギー転換分析に与える影響を検証。エコロジカル・フットプリントがより安定した結果をもたらし、金融要因の負の効果を明らかにした。一方、エコロジカル・デフィシットでは推計が不安定でモデルの適合度が低下する。指標選択の重要性を示す。
English
Using panel data from 16 Latin American countries (2002-2021), this study examines how the choice of environmental metric (ecological footprint vs. ecological deficit) affects the analysis of the energy transition. The ecological footprint provides more stable and consistent results, revealing a negative effect of finance on renewable energy share, which is mitigated by climate preparedness. The ecological deficit yields weaker estimates and model fit. The findings highlight the non-neutral role of metric selection.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文はラテンアメリカを対象とするが、環境指標の選択がエネルギー転換の分析結果を左右するという知見は、日本のGX政策や企業の環境パフォーマンス評価にも示唆を与える。特に、SSBJや有報での指標選定において、動的で消費に敏感な指標の重要性を認識する材料となる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence that the choice of environmental metric significantly influences the assessment of the energy transition. For global GX scholarship, it underscores the need for careful indicator selection in empirical studies and policy evaluation, relevant to frameworks like TCFD and ISSB that rely on metrics.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in energy transition and environmental metrics gain a methodological caution: the choice of proxy (ecological footprint vs. deficit) alters empirical results and theoretical interpretations.
🏢実務担当者:Practitioners involved in sustainability reporting or GX strategy should note that metric choice can affect the apparent effectiveness of financial mechanisms, influencing decision-making.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers designing monitoring frameworks for energy transition should prioritize dynamic consumption-based metrics over static deficit measures for accurate tracking.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the relevance of selecting environmental metrics for evaluating the energy transition in Latin America. The study uses panel data from 16 countries spanning 2002-2021. Subsequently, a fixed-effects model with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors is applied to compare the indicators generally used to measure environmental pressure: the per capita Ecological Footprint (EFpc) and the per capita Ecological Deficit (EDpc). This research also incorporates other variables spanning the institutional, financial, and environmental spheres to obtain a more comprehensive perspective. The results indicate that the choice of environmental metric is not neutral. When using the EFpc, the coefficients are stable, clear, and consistent. The EDpc, conversely, yields less consistent estimates and is dependent on the model specification. With the EFpc, the role of finance is found to exert a significant negative effect on the share of renewable energy. This negative effect is attenuated within the interaction between finance and climate preparedness as the latter variable increases. Climate preparedness thus appears to act as a mechanism that enables the financial channel to become a key component in a country's energy matrix. However, the use of the EDpc reduces the model's goodness-of-fit, as it weakens the theoretical interpretation of the financial and institutional effects. Consequently, the study provides evidence that the EFpc serves as a superior indicator for monitoring environmental pressures relevant to the energy transition, given that it is dynamic and sensitive to consumption, unlike the EDpc, which provides a structural snapshot of ecological imbalance.
