Agregar Etiqueta | Sumario: | The Ecological Footprint (HE) is the measure of resource consumption that allows us to know how much we have and to what extent we can use the natural resources provided by the ecosystem, today it has been calculated that there are 2.1 hectares of biologically productive space per inhabitant in On Earth, however, the global average HE is 2.9 hectares per person, which indicates that humanity is exceeding the ecological capacity of the planet. In this sense, this research aims to analyze the effect of economic growth on the ecological footprint in Latin America (LA) and the European Union (EU), through the use of econometric methods based on Generalized Least Squares (GLS) models. for panel data and cointegration techniques. We use data from the World Development Indicators and the Global Footprint Network (2020). The main results show that the relationship between GDP per capita and the ecological footprint per capita describe a U-shaped curve, indicating that the benefits that can be achieved, with respect to the reduction of the ecological footprint, corresponding to a greater economic growth are temporary. However, trade liberalization plays an important role in reducing the impacts of economic growth on environmental deterioration, which is why it is suggested to promote trade liberalization policies with fewer regulations, since these would allow access to cleaner technologies in each nation to de This way reduce pollution in terms of ecological footprint. In addition, the consumption of clean energy should be promoted, since it was possible to determine that energy consumption is one of the factors responsible for not complying with the CKA at a global level and by region, reflecting a positive and significant effect on the footprint. ecological. |
