Green Official Development Aid, Concessional External Debt and Green Growth in East African Community Countries

According to United Nations (2023), green growth can be measured through Gross National Domestic Product which can be achieved by deducting environmental emissions and degradation from the GDP growth. The carbon emissions (CO2), emission damage (EmD), energy depletion (EnD), natural forest depletion (NfD) and mineral depletion (MD) were used in the current study to derive GNDP as a percentage of GDP growth. GNDP as a percentage of GDP growth was used as the dependent variable while Green Official Development Aid (GODA) and external concessional debt (CoD) were the independent variables for the study. GODA data was extracted from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Credit Reporting System database. External concessional debt data was extracted from the World Bank data base. Control variables for the study include debt service for external debt, inflation, real interest rate and corruption estimate all extracted from the World Bank database. The data analyzed was from1980 to 2022 for six East African Community (EAC) states, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. Attached is the analyzed data set using the Stata 15 software.根据联合国（United Nations）2023年的研究成果，绿色增长（Green Growth）可通过国民国内生产总值（Gross National Domestic Product）进行衡量，该指标可通过从GDP增速中扣除环境排放与环境退化成本得到。本研究选取碳排放（CO₂）、排放损害（Emission Damage, EmD）、能源耗竭（Energy Depletion, EnD）、天然林耗竭（Natural Forest Depletion, NfD）以及矿产耗竭（Mineral Depletion, MD）等指标，推导得到以GDP增速百分比形式呈现的GNDP。本研究以GNDP占GDP增速的比重作为因变量，以绿色官方发展援助（Green Official Development Aid, GODA）与外部优惠债务（External Concessional Debt, CoD）作为自变量。绿色官方发展援助数据取自经济合作与发展组织（Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD）信贷报告系统数据库；外部优惠债务数据取自世界银行（World Bank）数据库。本研究的控制变量包括外债还本付息额、通货膨胀率、实际利率以及腐败评估指数，上述所有数据均取自世界银行数据库。本次分析的数据覆盖1980年至2022年，涉及6个东非共同体（East African Community, EAC）成员国：刚果民主共和国（Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC）、肯尼亚、布隆迪、坦桑尼亚、卢旺达以及乌干达。附件为使用Stata 15软件分析得到的数据集。
