Modelling the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) trade, economic complexity and energy structure on carbon neutrality: Evidence from BRICS

Unofficial AI-generated summary based on the public title and abstract. Not an official translation.

🔬研究者:The study's CS-ARDL methodology and disaggregated ICT trade analysis offer a robust framework for further research on ICT and emissions.

🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams can leverage the finding that ICT service exports reduce emissions to align digital service strategies with carbon reduction goals.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in emerging economies should prioritize ICT service exports and renewable energy adoption as complementary strategies for carbon neutrality.

目的 — 本研究は、情報通信技術（ICT）貿易フロー構成要素、具体的にはICTサービス輸出、ICT財輸出、ICT財輸入が、経済複雑性および再生可能エネルギー比率とともに、炭素排出に与える影響を調査する。方法論 — 2000年から2022年までのBRICS諸国のパネルを、各国間の断面依存と傾きの不均一性を考慮した第二世代の断面自己回帰分布ラグ（CS-ARDL）モデルを用いて推定する。結果 — 国内総生産（GDP）一人当たりおよび経済複雑性は炭素排出と正の関連がある。ICT貿易フローは排出に対して異質な効果を持つ。ICTサービス、輸出、および再生可能エネルギー消費は炭素排出を有意に削減する。しかし、ICT財輸出および輸入は炭素排出に対して有意でない効果を持つ。示唆 — この結果は、BRICS諸国がICTサービスの輸出を促進し、再生可能エネルギーの導入を加速し、持続可能な生産慣行に向けた産業変革政策を推進する政策措置を重視しなければならないことを示唆する。独自性 — 本研究は、供給側のICT貿易チャネルに焦点を当て、それをICT財輸出、輸入、およびサービス輸出に分解する。さらに、本研究は断面依存と傾きの不均一性に対して頑健な第二世代の推定手法を適用する。

Purpose — This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) trade flow components, specifically ICT service exports, ICT goods exports, and ICT goods imports, alongside economic complexity and renewable energy share on carbon emissions.Methodology — A panel of BRICS countries from 2000 to 2022 is estimated using a second-generation cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) model that accounts for cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity across countries. Findings — Gross domestic product per capita and economic complexity are positively associated with carbon emissions. ICT trade flows have heterogeneous effects on emissions. ICT services, exports, and renewable energy consumption significantly reduce carbon emissions. However, ICT goods exports and imports have an insignificant effect on carbon emissions.Implications — The results suggest that the BRICS countries must emphasise policy measures that promote the export of ICT services, accelerate renewable energy adoption, and promote industrial transformation policies towards sustainable production practices.Originality — This study focuses on supply-side ICT trade channels and disaggregates them into ICT goods exports, imports, and service exports. Furthermore, this study applies second-generation estimation techniques that are robust to cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity
