アジア17カ国の非金融企業（2015〜2024年）を対象に、ESGパフォーマンスと投資非効率の関係を分析。ESGの高さは過剰投資の抑制を通じて投資非効率を低下させるが、過小投資との関係は有意でない。媒介分析ではエージェンシーコストと財務制約の双方が経路となり、特にエージェンシーコストの媒介効果が強い。開示よりもガバナンスに焦点を当てたESG施策が資本配分効率の改善に有効だと示唆する。
English
Using non-financial firms across 17 Asian countries (2015–2024), this study links higher ESG performance to lower investment inefficiency, driven mainly by reduced overinvestment; the underinvestment link is insignificant. Mediation analysis shows both agency costs and financing constraints are channels, with agency costs mediating more strongly. Governance-focused ESG mandates may improve capital-allocation efficiency more than disclosure-focused ones.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
SSBJ基準や有報でのESG開示が進む日本企業にとって、開示そのものよりガバナンス設計が資本効率に効くという示唆は、統合報告書や投資家対話の設計に直結する。アジア域内の比較軸としても日本企業のポジション把握に有用。
In the global GX context
Amid ISSB/CSRD-driven disclosure mandates, this paper argues governance-focused ESG engagement outperforms disclosure-only approaches for capital-allocation efficiency — a useful counterpoint for global debates on whether disclosure alone changes corporate behavior. Its Asian multi-country scope adds evidence beyond US/EU samples.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The focus of this study is the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and investment inefficiency in Asian firms. Focusing on non-financial industry firms among 17 Asian countries from 2015 to 2024, we observe that higher ESG performance is related to lower investment inefficiency, chiefly attributed to reduced overinvestment, while the relationship with underinvestment is statistically insignificant. This asymmetric pattern is aligned with agency theory, which states that overinvestment reflects managerial empire-building and inefficient use of free cash flow, both of which are constrained by stronger ESG governance. In contrast, underinvestment is more closely related to financing constraints, which are less effectively addressed by ESG. Mediation analysis shows that both agency costs and financing constraints act as channels through which ESG affects investment efficiency. Using managerial compensation as a proxy for agency costs, our results identify governance channels through which ESG adoption influences corporate investment decisions, with agency costs exhibiting a stronger mediating effect than financing constraints. Although ESG engagement is associated with higher managerial compensation, it is also associated with lower overinvestment, which suggests that compensation serves as an incentive-alignment mechanism that reduces managerial empire-building and enhances capital-allocation efficiency. Findings are robust to lagged ESG specifications, alternative inefficiency measures, and country-level regressions. These findings suggest that ESG mandates focused on governance may be more effective at improving capital-allocation efficiency across various institutional environments in Asia than mandates focused on disclosure.
