This study empirically examines the effects of digitalization and financial development on the per capita material footprint across 27 developing countries during the 2000-2023 period, within the framework of the STIRPAT model. The sample consists of countries classified as developing economies according to the World Bank’s classification and for which complete data are available throughout the analysis period. Because the material footprint -a consumption-based indicator reflecting total resource use across supply chains- serves as a more comprehensive measure of environmental pressure in globalizing economies, it was used as the dependent variable instead of carbon emissions. Long-run coefficients were estimated using the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (DCCE-MG) estimator, which accounts for cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity. Conditional median estimates were obtained using bootstrap MM-QR. Additional analyses based on a parsimonious specification are reported separately. Trade openness and the trade balance, both included as controls, have negative and statistically significant coefficients in both estimators. By contrast, per capita income, energy intensity, urbanization, and financial depth are positive and significant only in the MM-QR estimates. The negative MM-QR coefficient indicates that digitalization is associated with a lower material footprint at the conditional median. This finding suggests that digital infrastructure development may contribute to resource efficiency in developing economies. The results also differ across countries, indicating substantial heterogeneity within the sample. Accordingly, policy priorities concerning digitalization, institutional capacity, and the energy transition may need to be adapted to country-specific conditions.
