サブサハラ・アフリカ42カ国を対象に、グリーン投資（再生可能エネルギー投資）が産業炭素排出に与える影響を2001-2024年で分析。プール平均群推定など複数の手法を用い、グリーン投資は総体として排出を有意に削減するが、低所得国では逆に排出を増加させることを発見。所得に応じた政策枠組みの重要性を強調。
English
This study analyzes the impact of green investment (renewable energy investment) on industrial carbon emissions in 42 sub-Saharan African countries from 2001 to 2024. Using multiple econometric methods, it finds that green investment significantly reduces emissions overall, but increases emissions in low-income countries, highlighting the need for income-differentiated policies and absorptive capacity building.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業にとっては、アフリカでの再生可能エネルギー投資やグリーン金融の動向を理解する上で参考になる。特に、低所得国での投資効果の逆転は、ODAや民間投資の条件形成に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on climate finance effectiveness, particularly in developing regions. It underscores the importance of absorptive capacity and institutional quality for green investment to achieve decarbonization, relevant for international climate finance and policy design.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The largely untapped question of whether green investment can decarbonize industries in sub-Saharan Africa is the driving force behind this study, considering the region is increasingly emitting carbon emissions and is in dire need of development. The paper will analyze how green investment will affect the carbon emission of industries in 42 sub-Saharan African countries between the year 2001 and 2024. The results of the study using pooled mean group estimation, two-stage least squares, fully modified ordinary least squares, heterogeneous Driscoll-Kraay estimations, and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality tests, all show that green investment, proxied by renewable energy investment, has a significant negative impact on industrial carbon emissions at the aggregate level. Green investment and emissions have a bidirectional causality, which is partially counterbalanced by carbon-intensive access to electricity. It is also important to note that green investment has counterintuitive emissions-increasing impacts in low-income countries, highlighting the significance of income-differentiated policy frameworks. Before ramping up investment programmes in lower-income economies, policymakers should prioritize the absorptive capacity building, through technology transfer, green industrial policy and workforce development. The growth of energy infrastructure should be based on clean energy transitions, and the regional coordination mechanisms should be used to harmonize the green finance standards. The institutional reform should be seen as a co-investment with climate finance in order to maximize decarbonization multipliers across income groups.
