本研究は、EU排出量取引制度（EU-ETS）における炭素価格が企業の温室効果ガス（GHG）排出量と環境イノベーションに与える影響を分析。炭素価格は企業のCO2排出量と負の関係、低炭素技術のグリーンイノベーションと正の関係を持つことを実証。グリーンイノベーションの排出削減効果は限定的で、炭素価格が主な削減要因であることを示した。
English
This study examines the impact of carbon prices under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) on firm-level GHG emissions and environmental innovation. Findings show carbon prices have a negative relationship with corporate CO2 emissions and a positive relationship with green innovation in low-carbon technologies. Green innovation has limited impact on emissions, with carbon prices being the main driver of reductions.

日本のGX文脈において
日本でも2023年度から段階的に排出量取引制度（GX-ETS）が始まっており、炭素価格の実効性を企業レベルで検証した本知見は、日本の制度設計や企業の排出削減戦略に示唆を与える。特に、グリーンイノベーション単独では排出削減効果が限定的である点は、政策の補完性を考える上で重要。
In the global GX context
As the EU-ETS is the world's largest carbon market, this firm-level evidence on carbon pricing effectiveness is highly relevant for global carbon pricing design. The finding that carbon prices drive emissions reductions more than green innovation alone informs policy debates on the optimal mix of carbon pricing and innovation subsidies, relevant for jurisdictions like the UK, China, and the US considering similar mechanisms.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides causal evidence on carbon pricing vs. green innovation effectiveness, useful for environmental economics and policy evaluation research.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights that carbon pricing is a stronger driver of emission reductions than green innovation alone, guiding corporate strategy on compliance and innovation investment.
🏛政策担当者:Demonstrates that carbon prices effectively reduce emissions and spur innovation, supporting the case for carbon pricing mechanisms in climate policy.
📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) has played a leading role in the fight against climate change. One mechanism used to meet the targets for global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions is carbon pricing. A prominent example is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU‐ETS). This study examines the effectiveness of political decisions to pursue environmental objectives from a firm‐level perspective. The aim of this research is to analyse how carbon prices affect firm‐level GHG emissions and environmental innovation. We also examine the relationship between environmental innovation and corporate GHG emissions, both independently and after including the effects of carbon pricing. Our findings show that carbon prices have a negative relationship with corporate CO 2 emissions and a positive relationship with green innovation in low‐carbon technologies. Our results confirm that green innovation exerts a limited impact on GHG emissions, with carbon prices acting as the main driver of corporate GHG emission reductions.
