日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策（再エネ導入拡大、地域経済活性化）において、本知見は太陽光・風力投資の経済的便益を実証的に裏付ける。特に、日本の高い電気料金とLCOEの差（レント）が地域経済に与える影響を示唆し、FIT/FIP制度設計への示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides robust empirical evidence linking renewable energy deployment to economic growth, countering the resource curse narrative. It informs global energy transition policy, especially for developing countries, by highlighting the role of institutional quality and solar potential. The novel rent metric could enhance cross-country analyses of renewables' macroeconomic impact.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT This study explores whether the resource curse hypothesis applies to renewable energy by introducing a novel metric of renewable resource rent. Using a panel dataset of 46 countries (2010–2022), we define renewable rent as the product of electricity generation and the gap between industrial electricity price and levelized cost (LCOE). This enables the first empirical test of economic rents from solar and wind power. Results show both rents are positively associated with national economic growth, indicating a potential “renewable resource blessing.” Solar potential significantly strengthens this effect, while wind potential shows a weaker, inconsistent influence. Findings are robust across alternative specifications. By integrating renewable rents and natural potential into macroeconomic models, this study offers methodological innovation and empirical clarity to a largely conceptual debate. We conclude with policy recommendations emphasizing institutional quality, energy diversification, and inclusive value‐chain participation to ensure that renewable energy development fosters long‐term, sustainable growth.
