Relación entre el PIB per cápita y el uso de energía contaminante y no contaminante: una visión del caso ecuatoriano usando modelos ARDL y funciones de impulso respuesta, periodo 1971-2014

The threat of climate change and the energy import dependence, together with the exhaustible nature of fossil fuels, have encouraged many countries like Ecuador to look for alternative sources of energy, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the purpose of this research is to analyze the equilibrium relationship between polluting, non-polluting energy as well as the economic growth in Ecuador during the period 1971-2014. Using data from World Bank Development Indicators and cointegration techniques for time series. The results show that there is indeed a short and long term relationship between the variables. In addition, an important shock was found, taking the two types of energy as an impulse, in order to find the answer that these variables have on economic growth. Likewise, to strengthen these results there is evidence of a unidirectional causal relationship that ranges from non-polluting energy to economic growth. In conclusion, this variable is very important for there to be greater economic growth in Ecuador, since if it were possible to exploit all the hydroelectric capacity that the country have, not only will pollution be reduced, but it could also export clean and cheap energy to leave behind the dependence on oil, and thus generate more sources of employment for the country.
