本研究旨在探討女性政治參與是否能有效促進再生能源部署，並進一步檢驗其效果是否會因治理品質與社會發展條件的變化而有所變化。本研究使用1997至2020年涵蓋62個國家的跨國縱橫資料，以固定效果模型進行實證分析，並透過交乘項與邊際轉折點估計，以檢驗女性政治參與對再生能源部署推動如何受到治理品質與社會發展程度的影響。實證研究結果如下：(1)女性政治參與與再生能源部署間呈現顯著正相關，顯示女性政治力量對再生能源部署的推動效果為正向；(2)女性政治參與對再生能源部署的影響會隨著治理品質的提升而有所提升；(3) 女性政治參與對再生能源消費的影響會隨著社會發展程度的提升而有所提升。進一步透過邊際轉折點估計，發現女性政治參與需要在治理品質達52.31%或人類發展指數達74.16%以上的國家，方能使其效果由負轉正。本研究也進行一連串穩健性檢驗，顯示研究結論具備一致性與解釋力。

This study aims to examine whether women’s political participation can promote the deployment of renewable energy, and further to investigate if this impact varies with governance quality and social development. Using panel data covering 62 countries from 1997 to 2020, this study conducts empirical analysis through a fixed effects model and applies interaction terms to explore the interplay between women’s political participation and governance quality as well as social development level. The main findings are as follows: (1)Women’s political participation and positively affects renewable energy consumption, indicating a beneficial effect of women’s political empowerment on renewable energy deployment; (2) The effect of women’s political participation on renewable energy consumption is enhanced with higher level of governance quality; (3) The effect of female political empowerment on renewable energy deployment also is increased with higher levels of social development. Further threshold analysis shows that the effect of women’s political participation turns positive in countries where governance quality exceeds 52.31% or HDI surpasses 74.16%. These results remain robust for a battery of sensitivity tests.
