本論文は、第6条に基づく炭素市場移転が地域間の所得不平等に与える影響を、統合評価モデルGCAMを用いて分析する。SSP1、SSP2、ネットゼロシナリオでは、2050年までにジニ係数が0.5～0.9ポイント低下し、不平等を減少させる。しかし、SSP4（所得格差拡大シナリオ）では効果はほぼゼロであり、財政移転効果が政策負担効果を3～6倍上回る。アフリカのネット売り手・買い手の地位がこの依存関係の診断指標となる。
English
This paper uses the GCAM integrated assessment model to evaluate whether Article 6 carbon market transfers reduce between-region income inequality. Under SSP1, SSP2, and net-zero pathways, the Gini coefficient decreases by 0.5–0.9 points by 2050, indicating inequality reduction. Under SSP4 (divergent development), the effect is near-neutral. The financial transfer effect dominates the policy burden effect by a factor of three to six. Africa’s position as net seller or buyer serves as a diagnostic of this dependence.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本はJCMを中心に二国間での第6条協力を進めており、本論文の示す「市場メカニズムが必ずしも不平等削減に寄与するとは限らない」という知見は、パートナー国選定やプロジェクト設計に示唆を与える。SSP4のような格差拡大シナリオでは効果が減殺される点は、長期的な開発経路を考慮した協力の必要性を示す。
In the global GX context
As Article 6 of the Paris Agreement moves toward implementation, this paper provides critical modeling evidence that carbon market transfers can reduce global inequality—but only under favorable socioeconomic conditions. The finding that financial transfers dominate policy burden effects strengthens the case for ensuring genuine mitigation outcomes rather than cost savings alone. Policymakers should consider baseline scenarios and regional income dynamics when designing market rules.

📄 Abstract（原文）
We assess whether Article 6 carbon market transfers reduce between-region income inequality. Using an integrated assessment model (Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM)) with endogenous regional GDP, we model a maximalist form of Article 6 cooperation, with internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) traded across 32 regions under three socioeconomic baselines (SSP1, SSP2, SSP4) and a net-zero 2050 pathway. Our primary metric is the population-weighted global Gini coefficient, which we decompose into policy burden and transfer components and examine across the regional income distribution. Article 6 reduces inequality under most scenarios, with Gini reductions of 0.5–0.9 points by 2050 under SSP1, SSP2, and net-zero pathways. Under SSP4, where income divergence erodes lower-income regions’ comparative advantage in low-cost mitigation, the progressive effect weakens to near-neutral ([Formula: see text]0.03 Gini points). The financial transfer effect dominates the policy burden effect by a factor of three to six. Theil decomposition confirms this operates overwhelmingly through the between-region channel under convergent scenarios, weakening to 79% under SSP4. Africa’s position as net seller or buyer serves as a diagnostic of this dependence. Article 6 can reduce global inequality, but the outcome depends on underlying development conditions rather than the market mechanism itself.
