本研究は、ラテンアメリカ16カ国（2002-2021年）のパネルデータを用い、環境指標の選択がエネルギー転換評価に与える影響を検証。固定効果モデルにより、エコロジカル・フットプリント（EFpc）とエコロジカル・デフィシット（EDpc）を比較。EFpcは安定した結果を示し、金融が再生可能エネルギー比率に負の影響を与えるが、気候準備態勢が高まるとその効果が弱まることが明らかに。EDpcはモデルの適合度を低下させ、解釈を困難にする。結論として、EFpcがエネルギー転換に適した指標であると主張。
English
This study uses panel data from 16 Latin American countries (2002-2021) to examine how the choice of environmental metrics affects energy transition evaluation. Comparing Ecological Footprint (EFpc) and Ecological Deficit (EDpc) via fixed-effects models, it finds EFpc yields stable results: finance negatively impacts renewable energy share, but climate preparedness mitigates this. EDpc weakens model fit and interpretation. The study concludes EFpc is a superior indicator for monitoring energy transition pressures.

日本のGX文脈において
日本ではエコロジカル・フットプリント指標は普及していないが、環境指標の選択がエネルギー転換政策の実証評価に影響するという示唆は、日本における再生可能エネルギー導入評価や政策効果分析にも応用可能。特に、気候準備態勢（適応能力）が金融チャネルの効果を調整する点は、日本の地域エネルギー政策にも参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence that the choice of environmental metric (e.g., Ecological Footprint vs. Ecological Deficit) can significantly alter the estimated relationship between finance and renewable energy deployment. For global GX researchers and policymakers, it underscores the importance of metric selection in evaluating energy transition progress and the role of climate preparedness as a moderating factor.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights the sensitivity of empirical results on finance-renewable energy links to the choice of environmental pressure indicator, offering a caution for replication studies and model specification.
🏢実務担当者:Suggests that sustainability teams using environmental metrics for reporting should consider the dynamic nature of the Ecological Footprint versus static deficit measures for monitoring transition progress.
🏛政策担当者:Indicates that climate preparedness (adaptation capacity) can amplify the positive role of finance in the energy transition, informing policy design for green finance mechanisms.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the relevance of selecting environmental metrics for evaluating the energy transition in Latin America. The study uses panel data from 16 countries spanning 2002-2021. Subsequently, a fixed-effects model with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors is applied to compare the indicators generally used to measure environmental pressure: the per capita Ecological Footprint (EFpc) and the per capita Ecological Deficit (EDpc). This research also incorporates other variables spanning the institutional, financial, and environmental spheres to obtain a more comprehensive perspective. The results indicate that the choice of environmental metric is not neutral. When using the EFpc, the coefficients are stable, clear, and consistent. The EDpc, conversely, yields less consistent estimates and is dependent on the model specification. With the EFpc, the role of finance is found to exert a significant negative effect on the share of renewable energy. This negative effect is attenuated within the interaction between finance and climate preparedness as the latter variable increases. Climate preparedness thus appears to act as a mechanism that enables the financial channel to become a key component in a country's energy matrix. However, the use of the EDpc reduces the model's goodness-of-fit, as it weakens the theoretical interpretation of the financial and institutional effects. Consequently, the study provides evidence that the EFpc serves as a superior indicator for monitoring environmental pressures relevant to the energy transition, given that it is dynamic and sensitive to consumption, unlike the EDpc, which provides a structural snapshot of ecological imbalance.
