本稿は、EU25カ国の2000～2023年のパネルデータを用いて、再生可能エネルギー、デジタル経済、ICT、経済成長が炭素排出量に与える影響を分析。再生可能エネルギー、デジタル経済、ICTの進展は炭素排出を有意に削減する一方、化石燃料消費は増加させることを確認。因果関係分析では、再生可能エネルギーなどから炭素排出への一方向の因果性を発見。EUの気候中立目標への政策的示唆を提供。
English
This study analyzes the impact of renewable energy, digital economy, ICT, and economic progress on carbon emissions using panel data for 25 EU countries from 2000-2023. Results show renewable energy, digital economy, and ICT significantly reduce emissions, while fossil fuel consumption increases them. Causality analysis reveals unidirectional causality from renewable energy pathways to emissions. The findings support the EU's climate neutrality goals.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT This study investigates the key drivers of carbon emission in the European Union, focusing on renewable energy pathways, the digital economy, fossil fuel consumption, information and communication technologies, and economic progress. Using panel data for 25 EU member states from 2000 to 2023, the analysis employs second‐generation econometric techniques, including cross‐sectional dependence tests, Westerlund cointegration, and PCSE, AMG, and DCCE estimators to address heterogeneity and cross‐country interdependence. The results show that renewable energy expansion, digital economy, ICT advancement, and economic progress significantly reduce carbon emission, whereas fossil fuel consumption increases it. Robustness checks confirm the stability of these findings, while causality analysis reveals bi‐directional relationships between economic progress and carbon emissions, as well as between fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions, while unidirectional causality runs from renewable energy pathways, the digital economy, and information and communication technologies toward carbon emissions. The study underscores the importance of renewable energy adoption, digital transformation, and technological innovation for improving environmental outcomes in the EU, while highlighting fossil fuel dependence as a persistent challenge. By extending Ecological Modernization Theory, the findings offer policy‐relevant insights to support the EU's climate neutrality and sustainable development objectives.
