本研究は、2002年から2021年の170カ国のデータを用いて、炭素排出効率（CEE）に影響を与える要因を分析。デジタル化とエネルギー転換はCEEを有意に向上させる一方、産業構造とグローバル化は負の影響。また、経済成長とCEEの間にU字型の関係を確認。
English
This study analyzes determinants of carbon emission efficiency (CEE) for 170 countries from 2002-2021. Digitalization and energy transition significantly improve CEE, while industrial structure and globalization have negative impacts. A U-shaped relationship between GDP and CEE supports the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change and environmental pollution are major threats to global ecosystems. Carbon emissions are the primary drivers of climate change worldwide, and reducing these emissions is the focus of every environmental policy aimed at decreasing environmental pollution and improving ecological sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to identify the drivers of environmental sustainability and motivations for decreasing carbon emissions to protect ecosystems. This study utilized super-efficient slack-based model and a panel-corrected standard error model to analyze the data of 170 countries from 2002 to 2021. The findings reveal the significant positive impact of digitalization (β = 0.0033) and energy transition (β = 0.0003), while industrial structure (β = −0.13) and globalization (β = −0.00065) have a strong negative impact on carbon emission efficiency (CEE). The gross domestic product (GDP) indicates a U-shaped relationship between economic growth and CEE, confirming the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. Therefore, the countries have a significant opportunity to improve their environmental quality and ecological sustainability by improving their CEE. Moreover, an increase in clean and renewable energy increases the chances of decreasing environmental carbon pollution through improved CEE. On the other hand, industrial structures decrease CEE, creating negative externalities for the global environment. High-emission industries should be compelled to achieve better environmental standards by implementing stringent environmental legislation.
